Footage filmed in the operating theatre during live broadcasts shows in detail the steps involved in the operation to insert a hydraulic penile prosthesis. This real footage documents the infrapubic approach used by Prof. Gabriele Antonini and clearly illustrates the precision and surgical technique required. Each stage of prosthesis placement, from cutting to insertion, is shown to provide an authentic view of the process. These images, designed for a medical audience and for educational purposes, may be intense for those not used to surgical scenes.
The infrapubic approach for the insertion of a hydraulic penile prosthesis, as performed by Prof. Gabriele Antonini, is an advanced surgical technique used to treat drug-resistant erectile dysfunction. This minimally invasive procedure involves an incision in the infrapubic area (above the penis), through which the hydraulic prosthesis is placed without having to incise the penis itself. The advantages of this approach include a reduced risk of infection, faster recovery time, and less visible scarring. The hydraulic prosthesis allows a man to achieve an artificial erection through a discreet internal device, improving the quality of sexual life. Prof. Antonini is known for his experience and precision in the use of this technique, considered among the most innovative and effective in the field of urological prosthetic surgery.
