Penile Implant

Surgical Procedure

A penile implant is an implanted device used to treat erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, ischemic priapism, and deformity or traumatic injury of the penis, and is also used for phalloplasty or metoidioplasty, including in gender affirming surgery, as well as for aesthetic purposes. Although many distinct types of implant exist, most fall into one of two categories, malleable and inflatable.
