Penile Implant Surgery in Istanbul | Coloplast, AMS & Rigicon Prosthesis

What Is a Penile Implant?

A penile implant is a prosthetic device that a urologist places inside the penis during a single outpatient surgery. The device restores an erection firm enough for intercourse, so it works even when other physical causes have blocked erectile function. Doctors recommend it once oral medication, injections or vacuum devices stop delivering reliable results. Because the implant sits entirely inside the body, nobody can see or feel it during daily activities.

​

Who Is a Candidate for a Penile Implant?

Most candidates have tried at least one non-surgical ED treatment without lasting success. Men with severe vascular disease, Peyronie's disease or nerve damage from prostate surgery often respond best to an implant, since these causes rarely improve with medication alone. Dr. Taş also treats patients who simply prefer a permanent solution over daily pills or pre-planned injections. During your consultation, he reviews your medical history and confirms whether an implant fits your specific case before recommending surgery.

​

Types of Penile Implants We Offer

Dr. Taş fits each patient with the device that matches their anatomy, budget and lifestyle. We offer four main systems:

• Three-piece inflatable (Coloplast Titan, AMS 700 LGX): the most natural erection and the most popular choice worldwide, controlled by a pump placed in the scrotum.

• Rigicon Infla10: a reliable inflatable option with an easy-to-locate pump button, ideal for patients who want lower cost without giving up mechanical function.

• Silicone girth implant: a soft prosthesis that increases girth for men who need enhancement rather than rigidity.

• Malleable (semi-rigid): a bendable rod that stays firm at all times, so it suits patients who want the shortest surgery and the simplest recovery.

Every patient therefore leaves the consultation with a device recommendation built around their case, not a generic answer.

 

Why Surgeon Experience Matters

Surgeon volume changes your risk of complications more than any other single factor. A 2017 Journal of Urology study followed nearly 15,000 inflatable implant patients and found that surgeons performing two or fewer cases a year saw reoperation rates 2.5 times higher than surgeons above 31 cases a year. Dr. Taş performs more than 400 procedures annually, well above that high-volume threshold, and this experience translates directly into a lower infection rate and a more predictable recovery. Every surgery also takes place in a JCI-accredited hospital, so the operating environment meets the same safety standard as leading US medical centers.

 

What Happens During Penile Implant Surgery?

Surgery begins with general or spinal anesthesia, so you feel nothing during the 45 to 90 minute procedure. Dr. Taş makes a small incision, places the chosen device, and closes the site with dissolvable sutures. You then recover in a private hospital room under 24-hour nursing care for one to two nights. Because the technique uses a no-touch protocol, the surgical team minimizes contact with the device to reduce infection risk. Most patients walk within hours of surgery and start light activity the following day.
