Penile Implant Costs: Devices, Risks and Quotations
A penile implant, or penile prosthesis, is a surgically placed device most often considered for erectile dysfunction when other appropriate treatments have not worked or are unsuitable. The decision requires specialist assessment; price should not be the only consideration.
Types and assessment
Inflatable and malleable devices work differently and have different handling, component and surgical considerations. Assessment should review the cause of erectile dysfunction, health, medicines, infection risk, previous pelvic treatment, manual dexterity and expectations. The device produces rigidity but does not restore natural erections, sensation, orgasm or fertility.
Risks and limitations
Risks include infection, bleeding, pain, injury to surrounding structures, erosion, mechanical failure, device migration, perceived length change, anaesthetic complications and revision or removal. Individual risks and device longevity vary. The British Association of Urological Surgeons patient information is a useful independent discussion resource.
Costs and follow-up
A written Revitalize quotation should identify the device, surgeon, facility, tests, follow-up and how complications are handled. Historic foreign prices, insurance assumptions and generic finance promotions are not current quotations. Activation, sexual activity and travel should follow the operating team’s individual instructions.
