Abstract

The implantation of a three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) has been shown to be a safe and successful treatment with a high satisfaction rate among individuals with erectile dysfunction. This narrative review aims to explore ways to improve the functional outcomes of IPP implantation. We conducted an English-language narrative review using all relevant articles sourced from PubMed. Over the years, modifications in IPP surgery have focused on increasing the longevity of prostheses and improving functional outcomes. These modifications include advancements in surgical methods, implant types, intracorporeal tubing length, the use of rear tip extenders, and reservoir placement. IPP implantation continues to significantly improve quality of life, making it essential for surgeons to stay updated on the latest developments and research to ensure the best outcomes for their patients. Optimal functional outcomes are achieved by an experienced surgical team and the use of a safe, rapid, minimally invasive surgical technique with the latest technology and equipment.
