What Can I Expect From Penile Implant Surgery?
You’ll be given detailed instructions to follow ahead of your surgery date, including a location, time, and preparations. It’s important to follow these directions exactly – some procedures are performed using general anesthesia, meaning you’ll need to fast ahead of your surgery. If you don’t, you may need to reschedule. Once you’re prepared, your urologist will make incisions in areas like the head and base of the penis, as well as the lower abdomen. Then, the predetermined implant will be placed according to your body measurements so it fits exactly. Once your implant is in place, the incisions will be closed. Overall, penile implant surgery can take less than an hour.
