Restoration of Erectile Function with an Inflatable Implant

The most modern and significantly more advanced penile implants are fluid-filled. Their mechanism is quite complex: hollow silicone cylinders are implanted into the penis, a small pump is placed in the scrotum to activate the mechanism, and a reservoir filled with fluid is positioned in the abdominal cavity. When an erection is desired, the man presses the pump in the scrotum, releasing fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders, which causes the penis to become erect and enables full sexual intercourse. According to surveys, couples report a very high level of satisfaction with these implants.
