Key Information

Penile Implants are surgical devices inserted into the erection bodies to convert a non-functioning penis into a functioning one, used for sexual dysfunction when other treatments fail or as the patient's choice.
One-Piece Penile Implants use flexible or semi-rigid cylinders that allow the penis to be rigid enough for sex but concealed when flaccid; they are simpler procedures, often ideal for men with poor hand function or a buried penis.
Two-Piece Penile Implants use fluid-filled cylinders with a scrotal pump for erection and deflation; they are a suitable option for men with extremely complex pelvic issues that make a three-piece placement undesirable.
Three-Piece Penile Implants are the most commonly used; they consist of fluid-filled cylinders, a scrotal pump, and a pelvic/abdominal reservoir, offering an erection that is like a natural erection and expands in girth and length.

About Erectile Dysfunction, Penile Implants

There are several types of implants. In each case, the implant goes into the erection bodies of the penis and converts the non-functioning penis into a functioning penis.

In this case, flexible (a good analogy is a goose-neck lamp) or semi rigid cylinders are placed into the erection bodies. The penis is rigid enough for sex but soft (flaccid) enough that it can be concealed in the clothes.

Good candidates for this type of implant are men with poor hand function (with a condition like multiple sclerosis) or men with buried penis who need a prosthetic to hold on a condom-style catheter.

Advantages of One- Piece Implants:

  • Totally concealed in the body
  • Easy for you and your partner to use
  • Good options for men with limited dexterity
  • Generally the simplest surgical procedure
  • Patient need only bend the prosthesis to conceal
  • 91% patient satisfaction rate

    Disadvantages: least natural erection, no antibiotic coating; worst rigidity; worst flaccidity

    Shortened: Involve placing flexible or semi-rigid cylinders into the penis, allowing for rigidity during sex and concealment when flaccid. Ideal for men with limited hand function or buried penis requiring catheter support. Advantages include being fully concealed, easy to use, good for dexterity issues, simpler surgery, and high patient satisfaction (91%). Disadvantages include the least natural erection, lack of antibiotic coating, and worst rigidity and flaccidity.

In this case, the cylinders are filled with fluid, and there is a pump in the scrotum (totally concealed, like a third small testicle). The man uses the pump to get an erection, and bends the penis to move the fluid out and become flaccid again.

Advantages of Two- Piece Implants:

  • Totally concealed in body
  • Simple to use
  • One-step deflation
  • Device inflation for rigidity and deflation for concealment
  • 90% of partners would recommend it to other couples

    Disadvantages: no antibiotic coating; not good for very thin men; not good for larger penises – because of poor flaccidity.

    Good candidates for this type of implant are men who have extremely complex pelvic issues that make placement of a three-piece undesirable ( previous trauma)

    Shortened: Feature concealed cylinders filled with fluid and a scrotal pump for achieving erection and deflation. Advantages include total concealment, ease of use, one-step deflation for rigidity and concealment, and high partner satisfaction. Disadvantages include no antibiotic coating and limitations for very thin men or larger penises due to poor flaccidity. This implant is suitable for men with complex pelvic issues.

These implants are by far the most commonly used devices. There are fluid-filled cylinders, a pump in the scrotum (that has parts for both pumping up and deflating the cylinders), and a reservoir in the pelvis/abdomen that holds the fluid when the penis is flaccid.

Advantages of Three- Piece Implants:

  • Totally concealed in body
  • Like a natural erection
  • Device inflation for rigidity and deflation for concealment
  • Expands in girth and length
  • When deflated, the cylinders are soft and flaccid
  • Parylene coating increases durability
  • 92% patient satisfaction rate

Disadvantages: need for placement of reservoir

Good candidates for this type of implant are most men with erectile problems, including those from prostate cancer, diabetes, vascular disease, spinal cord injury, pelvic trauma, transplant patients, and others

Shortened: Inflatable penile implants are the most common type, consisting of fluid-filled cylinders, a scrotal pump, and a pelvic/abdominal reservoir. Advantages include complete concealment, a natural-like erection with both rigidity and flaccidity, girth and length expansion, increased durability due to parylene coating, and a 92% patient satisfaction rate. The main disadvantage is the need for reservoir placement. This implant is suitable for most men with erectile dysfunction caused by various conditions like prostate cancer, diabetes, or spinal cord injury.

This procedure is carried out to correct sexual dysfunction if it is not treatable by other forms of treatment or if you prefer this treatment over others.

Performed under general anesthesia, an incision is made at the junction of the penis and the scrotum, the pubic area (two fingers above the base of the penis), or close to the head of the penis, depending on the type of prosthesis being used. Malleable rods and articulating rods are placed in the penis only.

Two-piece inflatable prostheses have a penile component and pump and reservoir part for placement in the scrotum. Three piece-inflatable prostheses have penile/scrotal (pump) components and pelvic/abdominal (reservoir) components.

This procedure takes about two hours depending on type of prosthesis being inserted.

Testimonials

I happily recommend the services of the GMS team. I needed a unique procedure which is not performed in Israel and I turned to them. 

Over a telephone conversation with GMS representative Roy, I felt caring attention and confidence that he would help in everything. He accompanied us throughout the entire process, before the flight and even after. 

In addition to Roy, we would like to sincerely thank Oriya, our allocated Israeli speaking patient coordinator of the company in Cyprus. 

Even before our departure, Oriya was in touch with us helping with any issues and made sure that we arrived fully prepared – taking into account the smallest details; even to the point of finding out our food preferences, and despite the late hour of our arrival at the hotel, she ensured an exquisite meal was waiting for us in the room. Oriya greeted us upon arrival and truly made us feel like we were her personal guests. She accompanied us throughout the entire day of the operation – attentively, with endless care and continued patience.

I felt like I had a good friend with me in the hospital. This kind of treatment doesn’t happen very often… At the end of the day we parted, hugging each other, and Oriya gave recommendations on where to go and what to do in the time remaining before returning home.

I just don’t have enough words to thank GMS and Oriya for everything. I can only recommend with a reassurance that those who need it should use their services.

When I was looking for information about palm surgery, I found many recommendations about Dr. Amir Oron. After a consultation with Dr. Amir, I was surprised to learn that my health insurance does not guarantee that he will be the surgeon to perform the procedure.

That is when I contacted GMS, who explained how I could have the surgery performed by the physician of my choice – which gave me peace of mind. It is very important for me to share my experience, as the service I received through GMS exceeded any similar experience in Israel: From the beginning I was assigned a GMS representative from Israel, who explained in detail what my experience would be and answered all my questions about the operation and the treatment process. (Thanks, Roy!)

All I had to do was fill out the application form. GMS representatives took care of everything themselves!

They contacted the insurance company on my behalf and even had them check the status of the application until the financial commitment for the surgery was received. We agreed with on the surgical date, booked the flights at a convenient time for me, and also dealt with the hotel reservation. The GMS staff even reviewed the menu and took any dietary restrictions into consideration on my behalf.

We were picked up from the airport in Larnaca, Cyprus where we met the wonderful Oria, who accompanied us throughout the entire visit and took care of every detail; from registration to preparation for the operation.

This is essentially a VIP service that made the entire experience relaxed and stress-free.
The assigned coordinators continued caring after my return to Israel. They were interested in my recuperation post-operatively and also ensured all financial matters were dealt with; all this, by the way, without any commissions or payouts on my part, but directly with my insurance.
In a word – an amazing experience!
In short – I recommend it!

Thank to GMS, thank you Roy, thank you Uriah and thank you Dr. Oron.

Overall, the service exceeded all my expectations!

Roy – thank you for your patience, quick responses (minutes!), availability, caring and clear explanations! You are inimitable! Oriya – you are amazing! Thank you for every smile, hug, help, guidance, explanation… really! You are simply amazing!

Every time I was asked by friends and family about the surgery, I immediately started talking about your amazing service! I felt warmth and love, and everyone who was with me felt the same!
We never stop talking about you, and really, only good things!

You have entered our hearts!
Thank you very much for everything! I hope to see you in the future, under different circumstances.

When one thinks of “Medical Operation” overseas, the last thing that comes to mind is a “Great Experience”, but this is exactly what I have experienced, going through a prostate removal procedure via GMS Cyprus. With their professional and compassionate approach, the GMS Cyprus team provides to the confused and worried patient a complete transparent VIP envelop, which takes care of all the logistics involved in “Medical Tourism” for the patient and their escort, as well as assembling a world class international medical team and medical facilities suitable to treat the medical diagnosis at hand.

From the first time the medical situation was diagnosed, and the first contact was made, the GMS team was there to remove the hassle and understand my concerns and worries about the medical issue and being far from home, and they handled every detail of the logistics of travel, insurance company requirements and medical preparations. From first arrival at the luxurious hotel, assigned to the first night and for my personal escort, the GMS management, Udi and Clair, has treated me as family away from home and personally came to greet me and attend firsthand to all my needs and requests. To top it all, they assigned their own personal escort, the wonderful Aia, which was available 24/7 and door to door to handle any need and detail and helped interface with the local hospital team.

I want also to recommend the choice of the hospital at Limassol, which is modern and clean, and of course GMS team have in advance reserved a private and spacious room and nominated a local doctor, which was familiar with my case and participated in the treatment and which came often to check my condition and parameters.

To summarize, I would not go so far as to wish such treatment to anybody, but if you must go through the medical procedure, the VIP treatment provided by GMS is a legitimate alternative, combining easy logistics, professional medical treatment by your own doctor, modern hospital, relaxed overseas experience and personal compassionate escorting to ease and sweeten the experience.
