title: [Penile implants].
abstract: Many patients presenting with erectile dysfunction have been successfully treated with techniques mentioned earlier in this issue. However patients with an insufficient response are still candidates for the treatment with penile implants. For this reason it is mandatory to know about the indications, the systems and the operative techniques of penile implants. In a time of decreasing numbers of implant surgery this method still remains a valuable tool for the therapy of erectile dysfunction.
