Penile prosthesis length expectations require honest preoperative counseling before hydraulic or malleable implant surgery. Patients measure stretched flaccid length by pulling penis from glans (without forcing foreskin retraction)—this determines maximum cylinder length matching final inflated/malleable erection. Satisfaction with this measurement predicts postoperative happiness; dissatisfaction warrants surgical deferral to avoid regrets . Penile prosthesis length assessment […]

Urological surgery, particularly prosthetic surgery, represents a field of medical excellence aimed at restoring vital functions and significantly improving patients’ quality of life. Among the most delicate and specialized procedures is the explantation and subsequent re-implantation of a hydraulic penile prosthesis. A revision surgery like this is not just a surgical act; it is often […]

These images, intended for a medical audience and educational purposes, may be intense for those unaccustomed to surgical scenes. The surgery you see on this video was performed by Prof. Gabriele Antonini. Using the minimally invasive approach, all components of the three-piece hydraulic prosthesis are implanted through a 2 cm incision at the base of […]

Live Surgery: Cattinara Hospital, Trieste. Penile Implant with Infrapubic Approach Dr. Antonini was invited to perform the implantation of a three-piece hydraulic penile prosthesis during a live surgery session as part of the Annual Conference of the Triveneto Section of the Italian Society of Andrology. The event took place at Cattinara Hospital in Trieste, hosted […]

An advanced course on reconstructive surgery, andrology, and robotics, held at Molinette Hospital in Turin. The event features live surgery for the implantation of a minimally invasive hydraulic penile prosthesis, an innovative treatment for erectile dysfunction and sexual impotence. The primary surgeon is Dr. Gabriele Antonini.

Medical innovation is essential to provide patients with increasingly effective and safe solutions. Professor Gabriele Antonini, a renowned urologist and andrologist, is a pioneer in penile prosthetic implantology, offering advanced techniques for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease (induratio penis plastica, IPP) and erectile dysfunction. Peyronie’s disease is a condition affecting a significant percentage of men, […]
