Penile prosthesis surgery procedure

For penile implant surgery, you will receive either general or spinal anesthesia. You will also get a urinary catheter, which can be removed the day after surgery. Once you are under anesthesia, the doctor will make a small incision either above the penis or between the penis and the scrotum. The incision exposes the erectile chambers, and the surgeon measures them to place a penile implant of the correct length.

Finally,  the incision is sutured. The wounds are cleaned, and a compressive bandage is applied. Most surgeons choose to leave the penile implant inflated for one day. Some surgeons prefer to leave a drain which is then usually removed one day after the procedure.
