Arizona Penile Prosthesis
Understanding the Malleable Penile Implant Procedure
The malleable penile implant procedure is a proven surgical solution for men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED), especially when medications or non-surgical treatments have not worked. This procedure provides a long-term, reliable way to restore sexual function and confidence.
How the Malleable Penile Implant Procedure Works
During the surgery, a urologist makes a small incision at the base of the penis. Through this incision, two bendable rods are carefully inserted into the corpora cavernosa—the erectile chambers on each side of the penis.
These rods allow the penis to stay firm for sexual activity and to be bent downward discreetly when not in use.
Benefits of Choosing a Malleable Penile Implant
One of the greatest advantages of the malleable implant is its durability and simplicity. Because it has no mechanical or inflatable parts, the risk of malfunction or device failure is extremely low. This makes it ideal for men who prefer a low-maintenance, long-lasting ED solution.
Additionally, the infection rate for malleable implants is about half that of inflatable prostheses, offering a safer option for many patients.
Surgery Time and Recovery
The malleable penile implant surgery is typically performed under anesthesia in a hospital or outpatient surgical center. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Most patients can return to light activities within a few weeks, and resume sexual activity after 4–6 weeks, once healing is complete. Follow-up visits ensure the best recovery and satisfaction.
Dr. Matt Williams — Leading Urologist in Arizona
Dr. Matt Williams of the EVU Center of Arizona is the first urologist in the state to implant the Rigicon Rigi10 semi-rigid penile prosthesis.
Often called the “forgotten implant,” this semi-rigid or malleable prosthesis offers a simpler, more dependable solution for men who want to avoid the complexity or failure risk associated with inflatable models. The infection risk is also significantly lower, making it an excellent choice for long-term results.
Conclusion
The malleable penile implant procedure offers men with erectile dysfunction a safe, durable, and permanent treatment option. Under the care of Dr. Matt Williams at EVU Center Arizona, patients can regain sexual confidence with a procedure that is both effective and low-maintenance.
