Updates in inflatable penile prostheses.
Throughout history, many attempts to correct erectile dysfunction (ED) have been recorded. For the last 35 years, intracavernosal inflatable prostheses have been used, and these devices have undergone almost constant enhancement. The three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis has the highest patient satisfaction rates and lowest mechanical revision rates of almost any medically implanted device.
