During the last 2 years the inflatable penile prosthesis has been implanted at the Mayo Clinic in 63 organically impotent male subjects. Over-all functional success is between 90 and 95 per cent. Experience indicates that 25 per cent of the patients require a second surgical procedure to correct a mechanical problem. Further experience with the technique and improvement in the product design have significantly decreased the number of mechanical problems encountered. Patient partner acceptance of this device continues to be excellent.
