Single implants in the treatment of erectile impotence.
A total of 12 patients with erectile impotence underwent implantation of a Finney flexirod penile prosthesis in 1 corpus cavernosum only. This procedure has a special advantage in developing countries since the cost of the operation in reduced by approximately 50 per cent. The penis is less rigid and longer, and in case of failure the other corpus cavernosum is readily available. This procedure is the method of choice in cases of psychogenic impotence since there is a considerable amount of super erection present in all of the cases.
