Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a major quality-of-life disorder that affects greater than 30 million American men each year. Since the introduction of Viagra, more and more men are presenting with ED that is not responding to oral or local therapies. Penile prosthesis implantation is recognized as the most effective, although most invasive, ED therapy with a high satisfaction rate. With an aging population both aware of and requesting therapy for ED, the number of penile prosthesis implantations will remain stable, especially at centers specializing in ED treatment. Therefore, a better understanding of the techniques used for placement of the penile prosthesis is necessary. The following review will discuss the techniques and a few clinical pearls in the placements of inflatable penile prostheses.
