Step by Step, Penile Prosthesis Implant – Hydraulic Penile Prosthesis Implant Step by Step, Patient Positioning
The process of implanting a hydraulic penile prosthesis involves multiple carefully executed steps to ensure the success of the procedure. Starting with the patient positioning, the surgeon typically places the patient in a supine position (lying on their back) with legs slightly spread to provide optimal access to the surgical area. Once the patient is appropriately prepared and anesthetized, the surgeon proceeds with the implantation of the three-piece hydraulic prosthesis. The steps include making incisions, placing the cylinders into the corpora cavernosa (erectile tissue), positioning the pump in the scrotum, and placing the reservoir in the abdominal cavity. This procedure requires precision, and patient safety is paramount throughout each phase, from initial incision to final adjustments. After implantation, the prosthesis is tested to ensure proper function before closing the surgical site.
