Surgical experience with the inflatable penile prosthesis.
More than 100 inflatable penile prostheses have been implanted at our medical center since 1974. The 50 patients who are at least 1 year postoperative are the basis of this report. Complications occurred in 10 patients (20 per cent) and 8 were repaired successfully. Of the 50 patients 48 presently have a normally functioning prosthesis and satisfactory intercourse.
