    Surgeons can now treat organic impotence with penile prosthesis surgery. This study shows high success and patient satisfaction rates for silicone penile implants in 35 men.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Organic impotence affects many men, often as a consequence of cancer treatment.
    • Surgical options for erectile dysfunction have advanced significantly in recent years.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction of silicone penile prosthesis implantation.
    • To assess the technical feasibility and complication rates of the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Implantation of paired silicone penile prosthesis in 35 men between 1976 and 1979.
    • Most patients had undergone prior cancer surgery.
    • Surgical technique described as not technically difficult.

    Main Results:

    • A functioning prosthesis was achieved in 33 out of 35 patients.

  • High patient satisfaction reported, with no requests for prosthesis removal.
  • Four complications occurred, suggesting rarity with proper patient selection.

    • Conclusions:

    • Silicone penile prosthesis implantation is a successful treatment for organic impotence.
    • The procedure offers high patient satisfaction and a low complication rate when patients are carefully selected.
    • This surgical option provides a viable solution for men with erectile dysfunction due to organic causes.
