Penile Implant Surgery in Newcastle
A discreet and highly reliable surgical solution for erectile dysfunction that has not responded to other treatments. A penile implant is concealed entirely within the body and, for the right man, offers a dependable and permanent way to restore sexual function.
What is a penile implant?
A penile implant, also known as a penile prosthesis, is a device placed surgically inside the penis to allow a man to achieve an erection.
It is usually considered when other treatments for erectile dysfunction, such as tablets, injections or shockwave therapy, have not provided a satisfactory result.
The most commonly used type is an inflatable implant. All components are concealed within the body:
- Cylinders placed inside the penis
- A small pump positioned within the scrotum
- A fluid reservoir placed internally
By squeezing the pump, you create an erection when desired. Afterwards, the device is deflated and the penis returns to a flaccid state.
Because the implant is entirely internal and activated on demand, satisfaction rates among men and their partners are consistently high.
Implant surgery is a permanent step, as it alters the natural erectile tissue. Your consultant will discuss this carefully and explain how it compares with other options.
