title: [Treatment of erectile dysfunction by implantation of domestic made three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis, a retrospective study of 29 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of implantation of domestic made three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis on erectile dysfunction (ED).
  
  
  METHODS
  Domestic made three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis were implanted through an incision at the border of penis and scrotum on 29 patients with ED refractory to non-operative treatment, among which 23 being with neurogenic ED, including 18 paraplegia cases and 5 cases of traumatic injury of nervi erigentes; 4 cases with ED caused by arteriovenous fistula; I case with ED caused by fibrosis of corpus cavernosum, and 1 case with ED caused by Klinefelter's syndrome. Follow-up was conducted for 3 - 36 months to survey the clinical effect.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Operation was successfully performed upon all 29 patients. Follow-up after operation lasted 3 - 36 months, 18 months on average. Fluid exudation of penile prosthesis and localized infection occurred in 1 patient and mechanic complication occurred in 2 patients. Maintained sexual intercourse rate was 28/29. 3 ED patients with primary arteriovenous fistula made their spouses pregnant after treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With excellent covertness and at low cost, implantation of domestic made three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis is effective and well accepted by ED patients.
