Abstract:
Penile implants remain a mainstay in treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Despite competing therapies, the number of devices implanted has increased each year. Implant infection continues to be a problem, but recent advances in antibiotic-coated devices and copious use of antiseptic irrigation have reduced the incidence. When confronted with an implant infection, a salvage procedure has gained acceptance that involves immediate replacement of the infected implant after antiseptic washing of the implant cavities. This procedure minimizes shortening of the implant erection and facilitates placement of cylinders in corporal bodies. Among patients and health care providers, satisfaction with penile implant remains the highest for all ED treatments.
