Endophalloprosthetics – Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

For the first time in Western Georgia this year, semi-rigid phalloprosthesis surgery was performed at Khozrevanidze Clinic

Erectile dysfunction (ED, impotence) is a common condition in which a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection long enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. This condition affects not only physical health but also has a significant psycho-emotional impact on a man’s well-being and quality of life.

Although many patients benefit from medication or conservative therapy, in severe and irreversible cases these methods often become ineffective. In such situations, one of the most reliable and modern solutions is endophalloprosthetics.

 

What is Endophalloprosthetics?

Endophalloprosthetics is a surgical procedure during which a special implant is placed inside the penis. The implant replaces the natural erection mechanism and allows the patient to achieve adequate rigidity for sexual intercourse whenever needed.

This method is recommended only when conservative treatment is ineffective or impossible due to the patient’s health condition.

 

When is Phalloprosthetics Recommended?

Surgery is considered when a patient has:

1. Ineffectiveness of medication or injection therapy

When maintenance therapy no longer provides sufficient results.

2. Severe erectile dysfunction caused by organic factors:

• Post-operative complications
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Severe vascular disorders
• Peyronie’s disease
• Pelvic or genital trauma
• Fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa

In these cases, the physiological erectile mechanism is so damaged that only a prosthesis can restore full function.

 

Effectiveness and Outcomes

Endophalloprosthetics is considered one of the most reliable methods in all of medical practice.
Its effectiveness reaches 95–98%, with very high patient satisfaction.

After surgery, patients often report:

• Restoration of sexual function
• Improvement in self-confidence
• Healthier relationships
• Overall better quality of life

 

Surgery and Rehabilitation

✔ Duration: 45–90 minutes
✔ Hospitalization: usually 1–2 days
✔ Resumption of sexual activity: approx. 4–6 weeks
✔ Full rehabilitation: 6–8 weeks

The surgical technique is modern, minimally invasive, and designed to maximize both functional and aesthetic outcomes.

 

Types of Phalloprostheses

1. Semi-rigid (malleable) prostheses

A simple, reliable design—considered a classic choice in many countries.
Easy to use and highly durable.

2. Three-component hydraulic prostheses

More advanced and closely mimic a natural erection.
Operated with a “switching” mechanism that the patient controls.

3. Two-component prostheses

Used rarely, mainly when a three-component implant is not advisable.
