Silicone penile implant
Description
A silicone penile implant procedure is a medical intervention designed to address erectile dysfunction (ED) when other treatments have proven ineffective. The procedure typically begins with a thorough consultation to discuss the patient's medical history, expectations, and the different types of implants available—most commonly, malleable (bendable) and inflatable. On the day of surgery, the patient is placed under general or regional anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free. A small incision is made at the base of the penis or in the lower abdomen, through which the surgeon carefully inserts the silicone rods or inflatable cylinders into the erectile tissue of the penis. For inflatable implants, a pump is also placed in the scrotum or abdominal wall, allowing the patient to control penile rigidity manually. The procedure generally takes between one to two hours and, once completed, the incisions are sutured closed and bandaged. Post-operative care includes a recovery period during which the patient is monitored for any signs of infection, bleeding, or implant malfunction. Pain management, typically involving prescribed painkillers, is an essential component of the immediate recovery phase. Patients are usually advised to refrain from sexual activity and heavy physical exertion for 4 to 6 weeks to allow for proper healing. Follow-up consultations are crucial to ensure the implant is functioning correctly and to provide additional guidance on how to use the device if it is inflatable. Overall, a silicone penile implant can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals struggling with ED, restoring both physical function and emotional well-being.

Blue Urology in Yeongdeungpo provides comprehensive, patient-centered care for urinary and men’s health concerns. General and Diagnostic Procedures Cystoscopy: A thin scope is inserted through the urethra to inspect the bladder and urethra. It helps diagnose causes of blood in urine, recurrent infections, pain, or urinary blockage. Uroflowmetry: A noninvasive test that measures how fast and how much you urinate. It helps evaluate urinary obstruction, weak bladder, or treatment results. Urodynamic testing: A set of tests that measure bladder pressure and function during filling and voiding. It guides treatment for incontinence, urgency, or difficult urination. Prostate ultrasound: An ultrasound probe images the prostate to assess size and structure. It evaluates nodules and helps guide targeted biopsies. Prostate biopsy: Small tissue samples are taken from the prostate using a needle under ultrasound guidance. Pathology checks for cancer to confirm diagnosis and plan care. Prostate and Bladder Care Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): A surgical scope removes excess prostate tissue through the urethra to relieve blockage from BPH. It improves urine flow and reduces frequency, urgency, and nighttime urination. Laser prostate surgery: A laser is used through a scope to remove or shrink obstructing prostate tissue. It aims for faster recovery and less bleeding than traditional surgery. Botox injection for overactive bladder: Botulinum toxin is injected into the bladder wall via cystoscopy to calm overactivity. It reduces urgency, frequency, and leakage when medications are not enough. Pelvic floor therapy and biofeedback: Guided exercises strengthen pelvic muscles to improve control. It helps stress incontinence and supports recovery after prostate treatments. Stone Management Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Focused sound waves break kidney or ureteral stones into small fragments. The pieces are then passed naturally with urine. Ureteroscopy (laser stone removal): A thin scope is passed into the ureter or kidney to see and fragment stones with a laser, then remove them. A temporary stent is sometimes placed to keep urine flowing and reduce swelling. Stone analysis and prevention plan: Passed or removed stones are analyzed for composition. Diet, hydration, and medications are tailored to reduce the chances of new stones. Men’s Health and Fertility Vasectomy: The vas deferens tubes are sealed through tiny skin openings for permanent contraception. It is an outpatient procedure with quick recovery and does not affect sexual function. Varicocele repair: Enlarged scrotal veins are tied off through a small incision to improve comfort and semen quality. Microscopic techniques reduce pain, recurrence, and complications. Erectile dysfunction evaluation and treatment: Testing and counseling identify causes and options such as medication, vacuum devices, or injections. Care is individualized to restore reliable erections and sexual confidence. Premature ejaculation treatment: Behavioral strategies, topical anesthetics, and medications are combined to improve control. Counseling addresses performance anxiety and relationship factors. Scrotal and Penile Surgery Circumcision: The foreskin is removed to treat recurrent infections, scarring, or personal preference. Modern techniques focus on precision, comfort, and cosmetic outcome. Hydrocele repair: A fluid-filled sac around the testicle is removed or repaired through a small scrotal incision. The goal is to relieve swelling, heaviness, and discomfort. Spermatocele removal: A benign cyst arising from the epididymis is excised while preserving nearby structures. Surgery relieves lump-related discomfort and cosmetic concerns. Penile curvature correction: Sutures are placed to straighten curvature that interferes with function. This improves sexual function and reduces pain from Peyronie’s disease.
