The implantation of a three-component hydraulic penile prosthesis represents an advanced solution for the treatment of severe erectile dysfunction when pharmacological and non-invasive therapies prove ineffective. This highly specialized technique allows patients to regain a natural and satisfying erectile function, significantly improving their quality of life.
Prof. Gabriele Antonini, an internationally renowned andrologist based in Rome, is one of the leading experts in the minimally invasive implantation of a three-component hydraulic penile prosthesis. The procedure is performed using an innovative surgical approach that reduces recovery times, minimizes post-operative pain, and ensures an optimal aesthetic result.
The surgery involves the insertion of a prosthesis consisting of three elements: two cylinders placed inside the penile corpora cavernosa, a pump positioned in the scrotum, and a reservoir containing the liquid necessary for the implant’s function. The hydraulic mechanism allows the patient to achieve and maintain an erection naturally by simply activating the pump.
One of the main advantages of the minimally invasive technique is the reduction of surgical trauma thanks to a small incision of just a few centimeters, avoiding visible scars and reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, the biocompatible materials used ensure long-term durability and high safety for the patient.
The procedure is performed under spinal or local anesthesia with sedation, allowing for a short hospital stay, often less than 24 hours. Patients can resume their normal daily activities within a few days and sexual activity after approximately 4-6 weeks.
Prof. Antonini is a leading figure in andrological surgery in Rome, providing personalized care to each patient from the pre-operative phase to post-surgery follow-up. Thanks to his expertise and use of cutting-edge techniques, he ensures excellent results and optimal quality of life for patients suffering from erectile dysfunction.
