Abstract
This article describes the clinical outcomes after implantation of the erectile prosthesis for phalloplasty in trans men. Demographic data, type of prosthesis (hydraulic or semi-rigid), operative data and intra- and post-operative complications were collected. In addition, it was examined what percentage of the men were sexually active with penetrative sex. Of the 18 semi-rigid erectile prostheses, one was removed due to impending erosion and four were switched to the hydraulic one. Of these 42, four (9.5%) were removed because of an infection, in four men a (9.5%) longer prosthesis was placed and five (11.9%) reoperations were performed due to material problems. Implantation of the erectile prosthesis developed for phalloplasty shows favorable results. The majority of men are capable of penetrative sex.
