Abstract:
Despite the revolutionary introduction of oral erectogenic agents for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, there will always be patients who do not respond to conservative therapy. Penile prosthetic surgery remains an important option for these patients. Mechanical reliability and patient satisfaction have improved significantly throughout the years. This review focuses on the most recent and important updates regarding product enhancements, patient satisfaction studies, and management of intra- and postoperative problems.
