By discreetly activating the pump, the cylinders fill and produce a rigid erection; a valve then allows the penis to return to a flaccid state."},{"question":"Are sensations and orgasm preserved?","answer":"Yes. The implant only replaces the erection mechanism: glans sensitivity, orgasm, and ejaculation are preserved. Most patients and their partners report being very satisfied after the procedure."},{"question":"Is the implant visible or detectable?","answer":"No. The implant is entirely internal and undetectable to the naked eye, even in the locker room. Only careful palpation of the pump in the scrotum could reveal it."},{"question":"What is the lifespan of a penile implant?","answer":"Modern hydraulic implants typically last 15 to 20 years. In the event of mechanical failure, the implant can be replaced with a new prosthesis during a similar procedure."}],"beley_sidebar_rdv_title":"","beley_doctor_band_title":"","beley_doctor_band_text":"","beley_doctor_band_points":null,"beley_doctor_band_image":"","beley_page_cta_title":"","beley_page_cta_text":"","beley_closing_highlights":null,"beley_blocks":[{"acf_fc_layout":"list_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Advantages: Why choose a hydraulic penile implant?","text":"","items":[{"item":"Appearance and function similar to a natural erection"},{"item":"Total discretion in flaccid position"},{"item":"Ability to have an erection on demand"},{"item":"Fast recovery and lasting results"},{"item":"High satisfaction among patients and their partners"}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"video_section_block","eyebrow":"","title":"The size of the penile implant order","text":"","video_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ucxqqf0F_UA"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image_text_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Procedure: How is a hydraulic penile implant implanted?","content":"<ul><li>Local or general anesthesia, according to the surgeon's recommendations<\/li><li> Incision at the level of the scrotum<\/li><li> Insertion of inflatable cylinders into the corpora cavernosa<\/li><li> Placement of the control pump in the scrotum<\/li><li> Placement of the fluid reservoir under the abdominal muscles<\/li><li> Closure of incisions and post-operative monitoring<\/li><\/ul> Duration of the procedure: 30-45 min.
