Modern penile implants, introduced to the market almost four decades ago, have provided a predictable and reliable treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) despite the development of less-invasive therapies. Infection associated with the placement of these devices does occur, and with prophylactic measures and protocols the incidence has decreased fortunately. In the presence of an infection the implant and all foreign material should be removed. A salvage procedure, during which the wound is thoroughly washed with antiseptic solutions after device removal and placement of a new implant during the same procedure, has a high success rate and is becoming a popular approach. The alternative, device removal with return at a later date for placing a new implant, entails a more difficult corporal dilation, and the resulting erection is noticeably shorter. Patient and partner satisfaction with a penile implant is the highest among all of the treatments for ED.
现代阴茎植入物在近四十年前推向市场，为勃起功能障碍（ED）提供了一种可预测且可靠的治疗方法，尽管出现了一些侵入性更小的治疗方法。尽管采取了预防措施和方案，但这些设备的放置确实会导致感染，而且感染的发生率已经幸运地降低了。如果发生感染，应将植入物和所有异物取出。在取出植入物后，用消毒剂彻底冲洗伤口，并在同一程序中放置新的植入物，这种挽救性手术成功率很高，并且正在成为一种流行的方法。另一种方法是先取出设备，以后再重新植入，这样会导致更困难的 corporal dilation，并且勃起后的长度会明显缩短。在 ED 的所有治疗方法中，患者和伴侣对阴茎植入物的满意度最高。
