[Use of semirigid penile prosthesis in the treatment of erectile dysfunction].
Implantation of a pair of semirigid penile prosthesis is a simple and satisfactory mode of treatment for erectile dysfunction in selected patients. Though the functional cavernous tissue is destroyed by implantation of the prosthesis into the cavernous body, the sensitive nerves are not damaged by the procedure. Therefore, the sensitivity of the penis, as a factor important for further sexual life, remain intact. The authors report their own clinical experience with implantation of semirigid silicone penile prostheses, made in Czechoslovakia. In 26 out of 28 patients they observed good functional and cosmetic results and the treatment allowed the patients to return to the active sexual life. The advantages of the used Czechoslovak prostheses, which are not to be neglected, are their availability and relatively low price.
