Types of urological prosthetic surgery

Prosthetic urology uses implanted devices to treat stress urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (ED). These devices are an effective option when other treatments, such as medications, are not successful.

A surgeon’s skill and experience are crucial when considering a prosthetic implant for your bladder or penis. Our surgeons are among the top doctors in the world in performing these delicate procedures. They have extensive experience in:

  • Artificial urinary sphincter and urethral sling
  • Penile prosthesis (prosthetic penis implant)
  • Revision and correction of previous prosthetic implants
  • Testicular prosthesis placement
