Sex prosthetics have become an established alternative of therapy for both the organically and the psychogenically impotent male patient. Functional success with the implantation of the inflatable penile prosthesis can be anticipated in 90 to 95 per cent of the patients. Both mechanical and pathologic complications occur, but with relatively low frequency. There have been no reported operative or postoperative deaths associated with the implantation of more than 6,000 devices. The availability of penile prostheses to impotent patients should be limited only by the patient's ability to meet the rigid criteria for selection of patients. When these criteria are fulfilled and the patient's expectations are in harmony with the known results that can be provided by implantation, uniformly successful results can be expected.
性假体已成为器质性和精神性阳痿男性患者既定的治疗替代方案。对于90%至95%的患者而言，可预期植入可膨胀阴茎假体后功能成功。机械性和病理性并发症均会发生，但发生率相对较低。植入6000多套装置均未报告有手术或术后死亡病例。阴茎假体对阳痿患者的可及性仅应受限于患者满足严格患者选择标准的能力。当满足这些标准且患者的期望与植入所能提供的已知结果相符时，有望取得一致的成功结果。
