- Inflatable implants: made up of 3 elements: a reservoir, a pump with a deflation valve and two inflatable cylinders.
By compressing the pump, the reservoir sends the liquid into the cylinders causing an erection. By compressing the deflation valve or bending the penis, the fluid returns to the reservoir. - Semi-rigid implants: composed of stainless steel wires wrapped in silicone.

Postoperative pain is inevitable. However, their intensity and duration vary from patient to patient. In general, the pain is calmed by morphine derivatives during the first postoperative week. Then the patient is given ibuprofen or paracetamol. However, intense physical activity should be avoided during the first postoperative month.
