Jason Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Penile implants are typically undertaken when more conservative therapy for erectile dysfunction is either unacceptable to the patient or fails. The two main types are semi-rigid rods, which result in a permanent erection, and inflatable prostheses, which include cylinders placed in the corpora cavernosa and a pump in the scrotum. Erosion rarely can occur months or years after the placement of the prosthesis, and the rods or cylinders can erode through the urethral meatus or the pump and tubes can erode through the scrotum.
