Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Procedure

James Elist, MD, FACS, FICS

Malleable and Inflatable Prosthesis Surgery for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment:

Erectile Dysfunction involves more than half of the male population between 40 and 70 years of age. Depending on the cause of the problem, there are several erectile dysfunction treatment options available for ED consisting of oral medication, local pharmacotherapy and penile prosthesis. Penile prosthesis (malleable and inflatable) is considered as the third line solution with one of the highest satisfaction rates (70-87%) among all erectile dysfunction treatment options. If treatment resistant ED has been established as a final diagnosis the installation of a penile prosthesis remains the last, but very successful option for the patient.

Dr. Elist is an officially by AMS (American medical Systems, http://www.amsphysicianlocator.com/) recognized urological surgeon to perform penile prosthesis installation surgeries using malleable and inflatable penile prosthesis for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment.

Dr. Elist uses both, semi-rigid penile prosthesis which is either a hinged or malleable device, or self-contained inflatable penile prosthesis which is a one piece, paired hydraulic device that allows fluid to be pumped from one portion of the device to another.
