The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) was introduced in 1973. Since that time, the fundamental design of the IPP has not changed, but numerous improvements to the device, surgery, and peri-operative management have resulted in a modern IPP with excellent reliability, infection control, safety profile, and user experience.
We describe important modifications to the IPP and review available data assessing the impact of these changes. We also discuss possible changes to the IPP that would result in continued improvement. Since its introduction in 1973, changes to the penile prosthesis have resulted in significant improvements in reliability, infection control, safety, and user experience. Design changes are anticipated to continue, resulting in a better and more versatile penile prosthesis.
可膨胀阴茎假体（IPP）于1973年问世。自那时起，IPP的基本设计并未改变，但该装置、手术及围手术期管理方面的诸多改进造就了一款可靠性、感染控制、安全性及用户体验均极佳的现代IPP。
我们描述了IPP的重要改进，并回顾了评估这些改变影响的现有数据。我们还讨论了可能使IPP持续改进的改变。自1973年引入以来，阴茎假体的改变已在可靠性、感染控制、安全性及用户体验方面带来显著改善。预计设计改变将持续，从而产生更好、更通用的阴茎假体。
