Between July 1985 and September 1987 we implanted 51 Hydroflex* penile prostheses for treatment of erectile impotence, with a minimum followup of 6 months in all patients and more than 1 year in 43. There have been no mechanical failures and no major complications. Of 47 evaluable patients 38 (81 per cent) are satisfied with the prosthesis. The 9 dissatisfied patients include 3 men who still are experiencing some difficulty operating the pump mechanism and 6 who desired a fuller or stiffer erection than provided by the Hydroflex prosthesis. All of the latter 6 individuals have successfully engaged in intercourse with the Hydroflex device. The patient who previously received a Scott inflatable penile prosthesis may not be as content with the erect state of the Hydroflex device. It also is important to assure adequate distal corporeal length before placement of the Hydroflex prosthesis.
1985年7月至1987年9月期间，我们植入了51个Hydroflex*阴茎假体用于治疗勃起功能障碍，所有患者的最短随访时间为6个月，43名患者的随访时间超过1年。未发生机械故障和重大并发症。在47名可评估的患者中，38名（81%）对假体满意。9名不满意的患者包括3名仍在操作泵机制方面存在一些困难的男性，以及6名希望勃起比Hydroflex假体更饱满或更坚挺的男性。后6名患者均已使用Hydroflex装置成功进行性交。先前接受过Scott充气式阴茎假体的患者可能对Hydroflex装置的勃起状态不太满意。在植入Hydroflex假体之前，确保足够的阴茎海绵体远端长度也很重要。
