Penile implant surgery can be a life-changing procedure for many men dealing with erectile dysfunction. Despite its benefits, it still brings a lot of questions and, for some, concerns. At Virtua Center for Surgery, we believe in total transparency about the procedure, recovery, and outcomes. With us by your side, you'll embark on this transformational journey with confidence and ease. Let's dive into the specifics so you'll know exactly what to anticipate before, during, and after surgery.

First things first, let's talk about the procedure itself. Penile implants, also known as penile prostheses, are devices placed inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to get an erection. These implants come in two main types: inflatable implants and malleable, or semi-rigid, implants. Working closely with your doctor, you'll be able to choose the type that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Your journey will begin with a thorough consultation, understanding your medical history, and preparing you for the path ahead.

During the surgery, which generally takes one to two hours, you'll be under anesthesia, meaning you won't feel any discomfort. The surgeon makes a small incision either at the base of the penis or in the lower abdomen. Through these incisions, the implant is inserted into the penis. The goal is to achieve results that not only improve sexual function but also look and feel natural. While this may sound daunting, rest assured that the procedure has been refined over many years, with countless men experiencing successful outcomes.

Preparing for surgery is a critical step. At Virtua Center for Surgery, we walk you through the pre-operative checklist to ensure you're fully ready for the day of the procedure. This includes guidance on fasting, medication adjustments, and what you need to bring with you to the hospital. Our staff is always available to clarify any last-minute concerns or questions. Remember, proper preparation leads to smoother surgery and recovery.

Your role in preparation is vital. Follow our instructions closely your health and the success of your surgery depend on it. We'll also discuss with you what personal items you'll need during your hospital stay and what arrangements you'll need to make for post-surgery recovery at home. We're committed to making sure that when the day arrives, you feel prepared and at peace.

Throughout the procedure, you'll be in the capable hands of our medical team, led by Brian Steixner. Each member of the team is highly skilled and dedicated to providing the best possible care. While you're focusing on your new beginning, we're ensuring everything goes smoothly, because your health and success are our top priorities.

Recovery is an essential part of your penile implant journey. Immediately following the surgery, you'll be taken to the recovery room where you'll be closely monitored as the anesthesia wears off. The medical team will ensure that your vitals are stable and that you're comfortable. Pain and swelling are normal, and we'll provide medication to help manage any discomfort.

Healing takes time, and we'll offer guidance on what activities to avoid and how to care for the surgical site. Following the post-operative instructions is crucial for a successful recovery.
