The implantation of a hydraulic three-piece penile prosthesis AMS CX 700 is one of the most advanced solutions for treating severe erectile dysfunction. This type of prosthesis is designed to restore optimal functionality in patients who do not respond to pharmacological therapies or other less invasive treatments.
The AMS CX 700 is a hydraulic prosthesis consisting of three main components: two cylinders implanted in the corpora cavernosa, a pump placed in the scrotum, and a fluid reservoir positioned in the abdomen. This configuration allows the patient to achieve an erection on demand by inflating the cylinders through the pump. When the patient wishes to return to a flaccid state, they can activate the pump’s release mechanism, allowing the fluid to drain back into the reservoir.
One of the main advantages of this technology is its ability to reproduce a natural erection, both aesthetically and functionally. Thanks to its advanced structure, the AMS CX 700 prosthesis guarantees high durability, comfort, and long-term reliability.
The surgical procedure for implanting the penile prosthesis is performed by specialists in urology and andrology using a minimally invasive approach. The procedure lasts about an hour and involves an incision through which the prosthesis components are placed. Post-operative recovery requires a few days of rest and an adaptation period before resuming sexual activity, usually after 4-6 weeks.
The benefits of this solution are numerous: improved quality of life, restored erectile function, and a high degree of satisfaction for both the patient and their partner. Furthermore, thanks to technological advancements, the materials used minimize the risk of infections and complications.
This therapeutic option is recommended for patients with organic erectile dysfunction caused by conditions such as diabetes, Peyronie’s disease, post-surgical prostate outcomes, or pelvic trauma. Consulting a specialist is essential to evaluate the most suitable solution for each case.
