[Flexible penile implants in the restoration of erectile function]

Flexible penile implants not only allow sexual penetration due to their physical properties, but also frequently induce restoration of real erection due to the reduction of the venous bed with preservation of the cavernous arteries. The author reports a series of 53 penile implant insertions. Restoration of erection above the horizontal was observed in 60% of cases with good tumescence of the glans.
