[Treatment of organic impotence by implantation of Jonas prosthesis].

We carried out operative insertion of Jonas penile prosthesis in 10 cases with organic impotence. Erection had been incomplete due to radical surgery for bladder or rectal cancer in 5, pelvic fracture in 1, diabetes in 1, Peyronie's disease in 1 and unknown in 2 of the operated cases. Nine of the 10 cases were able to have sexual intercourse at 5-16 weeks after the operation, but the prosthesis was taken off in the remaining one due to long-lasting pain in the penile and perineal region. We have confirmed that the implantation of Jonas prosthesis is a safe and useful procedure for organic impotence.
