✦ Peyronie's Disease Treatment

Penile Prosthesis Implantation

Q: How does the inflatable penile prosthesis work?

The patient squeezes the scrotal pump to transfer fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders, creating an erection; pressing a release valve deflates the device.

Q: Can I have a prosthesis if I've had prior Peyronie's surgery?

Yes — prosthesis implantation is possible after prior plication or grafting surgery; it is the preferred salvage option if prior surgery has failed.

Q: What are the risks of penile prosthesis implantation?

Device infection (1–3%) and mechanical failure (5% at 10 years) are the main risks; infection may necessitate device explantation and reimplantation.

What is Penile Prosthesis Implantation?

Penile Prosthesis Implantation for Peyronie's disease is the preferred treatment when curvature is accompanied by moderate-to-severe erectile dysfunction that has failed medical management. A three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is implanted, and intraoperative modelling or adjunctive plication/incision corrects the residual curvature. The prosthesis provides reliable erections, straightens the penis, and is the most durable solution for the Peyronie's-ED combination. The procedure is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia with a hospital stay of 1–2 Days. Success rates reach >90% in appropriately selected patients at experienced centres.

Men with Peyronie's disease and concurrent moderate-to-severe erectile dysfunction not responding to PDE5 inhibitors, or those with severe curvature and any degree of ED. Patients must be adequately fit for anaesthesia and free from active systemic infection before proceeding.

How the Procedure Works

Incision & Corporal Access

Infrapubic or penoscrotal incision; corpora cavernosa opened bilaterally.

Corporal Dilation & Sizing

Corporal dilation performed; appropriate prosthesis size measured and selected.

Cylinder Implantation

Inflatable prosthesis cylinders implanted bilaterally; reservoir placed in retropubic space.

Pump Placement & Connection

Pump placed in the scrotum; all three components connected with kink-resistant tubing.

Curvature Correction & Closure

Prosthesis inflated; any residual curvature corrected by modelling, plication, or incision + grafting; wound closed.

Who Needs This Treatment?

→Simultaneously treats both erectile dysfunction and penile curvature in one operation.
→Over 90% patient and partner satisfaction at 5 years.
→Three-piece IPP provides natural-feeling erections on demand.
→Intraoperative modelling corrects Peyronie's curvature without additional incisions in most cases.
→Most durable solution — devices function for 10–15 years before revision.
→Eliminates dependence on PDE5 inhibitors or vacuum erection devices.

"The penile prosthesis is a life-changing device for men with Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction. When a natural erection is no longer possible, the prosthesis restores both function and confidence in a way nothing else can."
