Description

By using the minimally invasive technique, we are able to implant all the components of the hydraulic three-component prosthesis through a 2-cm incision at the base of the penis. The procedure can be safely performed under general, spinal, or local anesthesia in less than 25 minutes. Usually patients can resume sexual activity after 4 weeks. Description of the Technique: once the trichotomy is performed in the operating room, the skin is cleansed and disinfected for 10 minutes with an iodopovidone solution and injected cefazolin intravenously. The first step is the induction of a hydraulic artificial erection by injecting cavernosa with 0.9% salinity inside the corpora cavernosa. This maneuver makes it possible to identify any conditions to be corrected (e.g. “Hourglass” deformities or penis curvatures). Furthermore, it promotes the expansion of the corpora cavernosa and facilitates the identification of the dorsal nerve, positioning it sideways toward the suture points.
