Penile Implant Treatment in Turkey
When it comes to erectile issues, most men can be hesitant to utter the words ‘ED’ which stands for ‘Erectile Dysfunction”. Without a doubt, it may be not simple to face it, and sometimes covering up the issue is much easier than talking about it with a loud voice! Please remember that millions of other men suffer from the same problem, and you are not alone.
Moreover, with today’s technology, you have more options to treat erectile dysfunction! The last step of treatment options for erection problems is the placement of penile prostheses (penile implants); which have been used in clinical practice successfully for more than 40 years. implant-based erectile solutions, continue to be an invaluable option for our patients when medical treatment is not effective.
Penile prostheses were introduced for use in the 1970s. Technological advances over the years enabled patients to attain improved natural and physiological erections with the use of penis implant today. Consequently, the satisfaction rates of men with ed and their partners were improved, too.
Today, potential complications that may occur are minimized significantly. However, this type of surgery remains to be a critical type of intervention that needs to be carried out with utmost care. It is greatly beneficial for patients to undergo this type of surgery performed by urologists experienced in this field.

What Is a Penile Prosthesis?
A penile prosthesis is a medical device placed inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction to regain their erections. This option is generally recommended only after conservative treatments have been exhausted. There are two main types of penis implant, semi-rigid and inflatable, where the implants are done by a simple surgical procedure, and each type works differently and has positive and less positive sides.
For most men, erectile dysfunction can be successfully treated with medications or other treatments such as p-shot and shock waves. You may consider penis implant if you are not a candidate for the treatments available or you cannot obtain an erection sufficient for sexual activity using other methods.
A penis brace may also be used to treat severe cases of a condition that causes scarring inside the penis, resulting in curved erections and pain (peyronie’s disease). About 90 to 95 percent of inflatable penile implant surgeries are considered successful. That is, they result in erections suitable for intercourse. Among men who have had the surgery, 80 to 90 percent report satisfaction. The implants mimic a natural erection so you can have intercourse. They don’t help the head of the penis to get hard, nor do they affect sensation or orgasm.
When Should This Treatment Be Considered?
You may be a suitable candidate if:
- Oral ED medications no longer work
- Injection therapies fail to provide reliable erections
- Shockwave or PRP-based treatments are ineffective
- Erectile dysfunction significantly affects quality of life
In some cases, Penis implant surgery may also be recommended for advanced Peyronie’s disease where severe curvature causes pain or functional limitations.
Clinical studies show 90–95% functional success rates, with 80–90% of patients and partners reporting satisfaction.
How Does an Inflatable Device Work?
- The penis implant system is made of two cylinders; a reserved area, and a pump. These pieces are placed by the urologist into the genital areas via surgery.
- The pump is placed into the scrotum of the patient, whereas the cylinders are placed into the penis, and the reserve area is placed under the belly area where the pubic area is.
- When the patient squeezes the pump, then a special sterile liquid goes to the cylinders and causes an erection in 3-5 seconds. This erection feels the same as a natural erection. The only difference is the blood vs the special liquid.
- When the erection finishes, the patient presses the same pump again to put the liquid back into the reserve area.
Available Implant Options
Inflatable Penis implants
It is the most common type used to create an erection and reduce its size at other times. Three-piece inflatable implants use a fluid-filled reservoir implanted under the abdominal wall, a pump, a release valve attached to the inside of the scrotum, and two inflatable cylinders inside the penis. To achieve an erection, you pump the fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders. Next, you release the valve inside the scrotum to drain the fluid back into the reservoir and the two-piece model works in a similar way, but the reservoir is part of the pump implanted in the scrotum.
Semirigid rods
Semi-rigid devices are always stationary. The penis can be bent away from the body for sexual activity and toward the body for concealment. A local penis implant is a semi-rigid device with a central series of parts that are affixed along with a spring at each end. Other special designs can provide an increased length or a shortened fit for the penis. Some inflatable devices are also available with layers of antibiotics, which may help reduce the risk of infection.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Penis implants are intended for adult men who:
- Have severe erectile dysfunction unresponsive to other treatments
- Are in stable overall health
- Have realistic expectations
Penis implant surgery is not recommended before the age of 20, as penile development must be complete.
Is the Procedure Permanent?
