這能處理什麼問題？
Penile prosthesis implantation is generally considered for persistent erectile dysfunction after less-invasive treatments have failed, cannot be used safely, or are not acceptable after informed discussion. Evaluation should confirm the diagnosis, previous treatment response, medical risks and the patient’s expectations about rigidity, concealment, device operation and penile length.
不同狀況可能外觀相似
A visible concern does not always have a single cause. The first consultation should identify the underlying anatomy, tissue characteristics, previous treatment and the outcome the patient actually expects.
- Incorrect use or inadequate trial of oral erectile-dysfunction medication
- Low sexual desire, relationship distress or psychosexual factors
- Testosterone deficiency or another endocrine disorder
- Medication-related erectile dysfunction
- Vascular or neurological erectile dysfunction
- Peyronie’s disease, penile curvature or fibrosis
- Erectile dysfunction after prostate or pelvic treatment
可能討論的治療選項
- Further medical optimisationRisk-factor control and a properly supervised trial of tablets, injections or vacuum therapy may still be appropriate before surgery.
- Three-piece inflatable implantTwo cylinders, a scrotal pump and an abdominal or pelvic reservoir provide controlled inflation and deflation.
- Two-piece inflatable implantCombines cylinders and pump without a separate abdominal reservoir and may suit selected anatomy or previous surgery.
- Malleable implantBendable rods provide persistent firmness and simpler operation, but concealment differs from an inflatable device.
- Implant with curvature correctionSelected patients with erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease may require modelling or an additional straightening procedure.
- Revision or replacementMay be required for infection, erosion, mechanical failure, component position problems or dissatisfaction.
哪些人可能適合？
A penile implant may be considered when other erectile-dysfunction treatments are ineffective, unsuitable or unacceptable after informed discussion, or when the patient prefers a definitive surgical option. Assessment should review diagnosis, previous treatment use, cardiovascular and metabolic health, diabetes control, urinary or skin infection, anticoagulants, prior pelvic surgery, penile curvature or fibrosis, hand function, cognition and expectations. No single HbA1c cut-off, device type or surgical approach is appropriate for every patient.
可詢問醫師的問題
- Why is an implant appropriate now, and what less-invasive options remain reasonable?
- Which device type fits my anatomy, hand function, concealment priorities and previous pelvic surgery?
- What result should I expect for rigidity, perceived length, glans firmness, sensation, orgasm and ejaculation?
- How do diabetes, smoking, anticoagulants, urinary infection, fibrosis or revision surgery change my risk?
- What infection-prevention protocol and coated device strategy do you use, and what evidence supports it?
- Who manages infection, erosion, mechanical failure or revision after I return home?
- When will device training begin, and how will you confirm that I can inflate and deflate it?
- What implant card, operative record, model and serial information, and English handover will I receive?
- What findings must be checked before you consider me fit for long-haul travel?
韓國醫療
相關科別 泌尿科
確認主治醫師的專科與其對該方法的經驗，並詢問將使用哪種設備或材料。選擇醫療機構應以適合性與清楚的溝通為準，而非僅看價格。是否適合應由主治醫師檢查後判斷。
- 請詢問醫師如何根據您的解剖、手部功能、隱蔽需求與既往骨盆手術，在三件式、兩件式與可彎式植入物之間做選擇。
- 確認您將取得植入物製造商、型號、序號或UDI、組件尺寸與儲液囊位置的書面紀錄。
- 詢問感染預防流程，以及發生併發症時由誰執行緊急移除、保留式重置或修正手術。
- 返國前確認個別飛行適合性判斷、警示症狀、緊急聯絡途徑與當地泌尿科交接計畫。
恢復與國際旅行
Recovery and departure timing must be individualised. Before leaving Korea, the patient should have an early wound, swelling, urination and device-position review and should understand when device cycling, bathing, driving, work, exercise and sexual activity may begin. Long-haul flight timing should be decided by the treating surgeon after considering wound condition, pain control, mobility, bleeding, infection and the patient’s general thromboembolic risk; there is no evidence-based universal seven- or fourteen-day rule. The patient should receive an implant identification card, manufacturer and model details, serial or UDI information when available, component and reservoir location, operative summary, medication list, warning signs, emergency contact pathway and an English handover for a local urologist.
Plan a longer stay than for an outpatient cosmetic procedure. Departure should follow an in-person review and the surgeon’s individual fit-to-travel decision rather than a fixed number of days.
因人而異 — 由主治醫師決定您的時程。
可期待的變化與重要限制
When the device is correctly selected, implanted and operated, it can provide reliable rigidity for penetration. It is not a lengthening or girth-enhancement procedure. Libido, sensation, orgasm and ejaculation depend mainly on the patient’s pre-existing neurological, hormonal, pelvic-surgery and prostate-treatment status; they should not be guaranteed. Some men perceive reduced length because of long-standing erectile dysfunction, fibrosis, Peyronie’s disease, prostate treatment or differences between remembered erections and the postoperative result. Published satisfaction is generally high after appropriate counselling, but study methods and patient selection vary. Implants have finite durability and may later require revision or replacement.
