Penile Implant Surgery
Penile Implantation Treatment in Pakistan
A penile implant (or prosthesis) is a medical device surgically placed inside the penis that helps you to get an erection, normally if you have erectile dysfunction (ED) when other treatments fail. It allows a man to attain an erection for intercourse by either bending rods or inflating a cylinder with a hidden pump. It offers an authentic and permanent solution that doesn't affect sensation or orgasm, but it requires surgery. This surgery is completely internal.
Dot Clinics have experienced urologist Dr. Faisal Ilyas registered by Australian Medical Council and PMDC verified who provide Pnile Implant surgery in lahore using modern methods and equipments.
Overview of Penile Implants
A penile implant or penile prosthesis is a procedure meant to give you the ability to have an erection whenever you want. There are two types of penile implants: inflatable and non-inflatable. Penile implants are typically recommended after other treatments for ED fail. It is designed to allow you to get and maintain an erection satisfactory for sexual intercourse and has been in clinical use for over 50 years.
- Surgical Procedure: The implant is completely hidden inside the body and placed through minimally invasive outpatient surgery. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours.
- High Satisfaction Rates: Patient and partner satisfaction rates exceed 98%, which is higher than most other erectile dysfunction treatment options.
- Natural Sensation and Function: Penile implants do not affect penile sensation. Erections feel natural during sexual intercourse.
- Irreversible Procedure: This is a permanent solution. Natural erectile tissue is modified to place the implant cylinders, making natural erections or other ED treatments no longer possible after removal without replacement.
- No Increase in Penis Size: The implant restores rigidity to the penis’s natural erect size and does not increase length or girth.
- Potential Risks: As with any surgery, risks include infection (rare with modern techniques and antibiotic-coated devices), mechanical failure, and implant erosion that may require additional surgery.
- Recovery and Durability: Normal non-strenuous activities can usually be resumed within a few days to a couple of weeks. Sexual activity typically resumes after 4–6 weeks. Penile implants are durable and often last 15–20 years.
Types of Penile Implants
There are two main types of penile implants used in the clinics such as malleable (semi-rigid) and inflatable, these options option depends on how easily you can use your hands, your overall health, and whether you have had any surgeries before. Dot Clinics doctors will carefully guide you in choosing the penile implant that suits you best.
Dot Clinics offers the following types of Penile Treatments are given below:-
Inflatable implants:
Inflatable devices, the most used in the penile implantation, can be inflated to create an erection with invisible pump in the socrutom and deflated at other times. Three-piece inflatable implant use a fluid-filled reservoir that is implanted into the lower abdomen. A pump placed inside the scrotum, and fluid-filled pair of cylinders implanted in the penis.
When you are ready to have sex, you pump the fluid, which is salt water, from the reservoir into the cylinders to create a rigid erection. After intercourse, you release the valve inside of the scrotum to drain the fluid back into the reservoir to return to flaccidity. The 3-piece penile prosthesis is ideal for patients who desire a natural feeling erection and provides better and natural erection from maleable and 2 piece prothesis. - Two-Piece Inflatable Penile Implant: With the two-piece implant, you simply squeeze and release the pump several times. Because the pump contains the fluid and pumped into the cylinders, it creates an erection that provides rigidity.
- Semi Rigid (Malleable) A semi-rigid implant is a pliable rod, which remains always firm. The patient uses the device by bending the penis away from the body body for sexual activity and bending it back toward the body for concealment.
Which one is The Most Preferable Penile Implant
Inflatable implants provide a more natural feel but require good hand dexterity, while malleable ones suit those with dexterity issues or previous abdominal surgery. The choice depends on lifestyle, dexterity, and medical history, with 3-piece inflatable often preferred for higher satisfaction rate and are more comfortable and close to reality, and malleable for ease of use.
How does the Penile Implant Work?
An inflatable penile implant consists of three main components: two inflatable cylinders, a fluid reservoir, and a pump. During surgery, the Dot Clinics healthcare provider places the cylinders inside the penis. The reservoir, which contains sterile fluid, is positioned beneath the abdominal muscles. The pump is placed under the skin of the scrotum, between the testicles.
The cylinders are connected to the reservoir and pump through thin tubes. To achieve an erection, the patient presses the pump located in the scrotum. This action transfers fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders, creating an erection with the desired level of firmness. Pressing the pump does not place pressure on the testicles.
After sexual activity, the patient activates the release valve on the pump, allowing the fluid to flow back into the reservoir and the penis to return to a flaccid state.
A non-inflatable (malleable) penile implant consists of two firm but flexible silicone rods placed inside the penis. This type of implant does not require pumping. The penis can be manually positioned upward for sexual activity and downward for daily comfort. The firmness remains constant and does not change after orgasm.
What Is the Procedure of a Penile Implant Surgery?
- Before penile implantation, you need an assessment appointment with our expert surgeon to analyze your fitness, screen for MRSA, and perform basic investigations. A penile prosthesis is recommended for patients who do not recover with other treatments.
- A penile implant procedure involves the surgical placement of inflatable or malleable devices inside the penis to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The surgery is usually performed under spinal or general anesthesia through a small incision. Depending on the implant type, the device may include cylinders, a pump, and a fluid reservoir. At Dot Clinics, we commonly prefer malleable implants, depending on your condition and budget.
- The procedure is normally performed in the operating room under full general anesthesia, so you will be asleep throughout the surgery.
- During the surgery, our urology specialist makes an incision at the junction of the penis and scrotum to insert the implant. The same incision is usually used to place the fluid reservoir. After the procedure, mild discomfort for a few days is normal, and painkillers are provided. Absorbable stitches are used and do not require removal.
- A catheter may be placed in the bladder for 24 to 48 hours to assist with urination. Once the catheter is removed and you are urinating normally, you can go home. The average hospital stay is one day.
- Our doctor will advise you not to inflate the prosthesis until your follow-up visit, usually three weeks after surgery. At that visit, you will receive complete instructions on how to inflate and deflate the device properly. Sexual activity should be avoided for at least six weeks after the procedure.
- Most patients recover well after penile implant surgery. Temporary swelling or bruising is common and usually resolves within a few days. Infection or bleeding is rare (2–3%). Less common risks include numbness, implant-related issues, or injury to nearby organs. A follow-up visit is scheduled in 2–3 weeks. Contact Dot Clinics immediately if you experience unusual or urgent symptoms.

What Are the Risks After a Penile Implant?

- Infection: Infection can occur with any surgical procedure. The risk is higher in patients with diabetes or spinal cord injuries.
- Implant Problems: Modern penile implants are highly reliable and designed to fit each patient. Rarely, mechanical malfunction may occur. Replacement surgery can be performed if needed, but the implant remains in place if you choose not to have another surgery.
- Internal Erosion: This complication is often linked with infection. The implant may adhere to the internal skin of the penis, which could require additional medical attention.
- Urethral injury: Damage to the urethra (the tube that carries urine) may occur and can require surgical repair, which may delay implant placement.
- Mechanical failure: Implant parts may malfunction over time and require replacement surgery.
- Reduced blood flow to the glans: Decreased blood supply to the head of the penis may occur and could require implant removal.
