Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis
Why Some Implants Are Replaced Over Time
The need for implant revision is a normal part of some patients' journeys. You're not alone, and today's technology has advanced significantly.
Mechanical Wear
Like many medical devices, penile implants may experience wear or mechanical changes over time. While modern implants are engineered for longevity, component fatigue can occasionally necessitate replacement.
Satisfaction & Performance
Some patients seek revisions to address size considerations or to benefit from newer technological advancements that may offer improved performance or functionality.
Anatomical Changes
Natural changes in anatomy over time may affect the fit or functionality of an existing implant, sometimes leading to the recommendation for revision surgery.
The Complexity of Revision Surgeries
Revision surgeries present unique challenges that require specialized expertise and implant technologies specifically designed for these more complex procedures.
Common Challenges in Revision Cases:
- Tissue Fibrosis: Previous surgeries can create scar tissue that complicates the placement of new implants
- Space Limitations: Anatomical changes may restrict the positioning options for replacement devices
- Potential Length Reduction: Complex revisions may sometimes impact penile length
