APICAL PENIL IMPLANT FOR ENLARGEMENT PHALLOPLASTY

摘要

A surgically implanted penile prosthesis, including an apical prosthetic element (1) to be implanted as a pad in a sub-glans position, between the distal surface of the corpora cavernosa (2) and the glans (3), such apical prosthetic element (1) being of suitable size and shape to result, upon implant, in an overall increase in glans volume with no substantial alterations to the typical anatomical shape of the glans itself. The prosthesis can be associated with a pericavernous prosthesis (not shown) composed of two pericavernous prosthetic elements to be placed laterally, facing each other, outside the corpora cavernosa (2) along the whole penile length (5); the two pericavernous prosthetic elements are essentially semi-cylindrical or have the shape of a cylindrical segment of a reduced height, or have a crescent-shaped cross-section.
