• implantation of penile prostheses (phalloplasty) - subdivided into extracavernous, intracavernous (full and partial), combined.



Extracavernous penile prosthesis can be performed in different ways. The prosthesis is inserted subcutaneously or subfascially along the dorsal or lateral surface of the penis. Sometimes the prosthesis is placed between the corpora cavernosa




Intracavernous penile prosthesis has gained the most recognition over the past 20 years due to a more physiological way to achieve an erection simulation, providing anatomical dimensions and stable rigidity of the organ for sexual intercourse, as well as due to a decrease in the risk of rejection of grafts located in the depth of tissues. Currently, there are rigid, semi-rigid and self-filling prostheses. They are made from different types of bioinert plastics. The technique for installing the prosthesis is as follows: tunnels are created in the cavernous bodies by bougienage, with a diameter of about 7-10 mm, into which the prosthesis rods are placed. This technique is universal (with slight differences) for all types of intracavernous prostheses.4




The treatments for impotence are very numerous, but not all of them are safe and useful. Ineffective or ineffective methods include: psychotherapeutic treatment, vibration stimulation, vacuum stimulation.
