Wilson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Joining him in this discussion is\u00a0<strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini<\/strong>, a renowned urologist and expert in penile prosthetic surgery. Together, they discuss the\u00a0<strong>history, technological advancements, and future of penile implants<\/strong>, offering valuable insights for both medical professionals and patients.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>1. The Origins of Penile Implants<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Welcome to a new episode of\u00a0<em>Doctor Penis<\/em>. Today, we have an\u00a0<strong>incredible guest<\/strong>\u00a0in our studio in Rome\u2014a\u00a0<strong>true legend<\/strong>\u00a0in the field of penile prosthetics.<\/p>\n<p>It is an\u00a0<strong>honor and privilege<\/strong>\u00a0to introduce\u00a0<strong>Professor Steven K. Wilson<\/strong>. He is\u00a0<strong>the most experienced penile implant surgeon in the world<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>father of modern prosthetic implantology<\/strong>, and someone I have personally\u00a0<strong>admired and learned from<\/strong>\u00a0throughout my career.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I remember it vividly\u2014<strong>twenty years ago<\/strong>, you came to the\u00a0<strong>University of Rome<\/strong>\u00a0to perform\u00a0<strong>three penile implant surgeries<\/strong>. I was very young at the time, and watching you work had a profound impact on me.<\/p>\n<p>That was the moment I knew\u00a0<strong>this would be my path<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For our audience, could you explain\u00a0<strong>what a penile implant is<\/strong>\u00a0and how the field has evolved over time?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s a great question, and this is the\u00a0<strong>perfect time<\/strong>\u00a0to discuss it because this year marks the\u00a0<strong>50th anniversary<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a0<strong>three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fifty years! Professor Wilson tells us that\u00a0<strong>penile implants have now been on the market for half a century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The\u00a0<strong>first penile prosthesis<\/strong>\u00a0was developed in\u00a0<strong>1973<\/strong>\u00a0by a\u00a0<strong>urology professor at Baylor University in Houston, Texas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The first-generation implant was\u00a0<strong>made entirely of silicone<\/strong>, but it had\u00a0<strong>many flaws<\/strong>. It required a\u00a0<strong>large abdominal incision<\/strong>\u00a0because the\u00a0<strong>connecting tubes<\/strong>\u00a0had to be inserted through the\u00a0<strong>inguinal canals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure was\u00a0<strong>complex<\/strong>, and the device\u00a0<strong>frequently broke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When exactly was this?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1973<\/strong>. At that time, I had just finished my residency and was looking for a\u00a0<strong>specialty to focus on<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I attended the\u00a0<strong>first training course<\/strong>\u00a0on penile implants, and in\u00a0<strong>1974<\/strong>, I performed my\u00a0<strong>first implant surgery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But back then, the device was\u00a0<strong>far from perfect<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t truly effective until\u00a0<strong>the mid-1980s<\/strong>, when\u00a0<strong>significant mechanical improvements<\/strong>\u00a0made it\u00a0<strong>reliable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>2. The Advancements in the 1980s and 1990s<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By the\u00a0<strong>mid-1980s<\/strong>, we saw a major\u00a0<strong>breakthrough<\/strong>. The\u00a0<strong>mechanical reliability<\/strong>\u00a0of penile implants\u00a0<strong>improved significantly<\/strong>, making them a\u00a0<strong>viable long-term solution<\/strong>\u00a0for patients.<\/p>\n<p>At that time,\u00a0<strong>two major companies<\/strong>\u00a0were leading the field:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AMS (American Medical Systems)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The original manufacturer of penile prostheses, founded in\u00a0<strong>1973<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mentor<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A competitor that entered the market in\u00a0<strong>1983<\/strong>, bringing further innovation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This competition led to\u00a0<strong>continuous improvements<\/strong>\u00a0in the durability, design, and effectiveness of penile implants.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Then, for nearly\u00a0<strong>30 years<\/strong>, there were\u00a0<strong>no new players<\/strong>\u00a0in the market\u2014until\u00a0<strong>2019<\/strong>, when\u00a0<strong>Rigicon<\/strong>\u00a0introduced their own prosthesis.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now, I am here in\u00a0<strong>Rome<\/strong>, visiting you, to encourage you to\u00a0<strong>try the Rigicon prosthesis<\/strong>. It offers\u00a0<strong>features that neither AMS nor Mentor provide<\/strong>, including a\u00a0<strong>lifetime warranty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So, for\u00a0<strong>50 years<\/strong>, penile implants have continuously evolved. The early devices required\u00a0<strong>large abdominal incisions<\/strong>\u00a0and were\u00a0<strong>technically challenging to implant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, we had\u00a0<strong>AMS<\/strong>\u00a0as the\u00a0<strong>only option<\/strong>. Then,\u00a0<strong>Mentor<\/strong>\u00a0came into the field. But from\u00a0<strong>1983 to 2019<\/strong>, there were\u00a0<strong>no other alternatives<\/strong>\u2014until\u00a0<strong>Rigicon<\/strong>\u00a0entered the market.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tomorrow, we will perform a\u00a0<strong>Rigicon implant together<\/strong>\u00a0in the operating room\u2014and it will be my\u00a0<strong>1,000th implant<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Really? Your\u00a0<strong>1,000th implant<\/strong>? That\u2019s impressive!<\/p>\n<p>But you still need to do\u00a0<strong>10 more<\/strong>\u00a0before you can catch up with me!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It will take me\u00a0<strong>another 10 years<\/strong>\u00a0to reach your level of experience.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One major difference with\u00a0<strong>Rigicon\u2019s prosthesis<\/strong>\u00a0is that it comes with a\u00a0<strong>lifetime guarantee<\/strong>, something that wasn\u2019t available before.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>3. Surgical Techniques: Penoscrotal vs. Infrapubic Approach (Phantom Technique)es<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about\u00a0<strong>surgical techniques<\/strong>. There\u2019s the\u00a0<strong>penoscrotal approach<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0<strong>infrapubic approach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Which one do you prefer?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the\u00a0<strong>early days<\/strong>, everyone used the\u00a0<strong>infrapubic approach<\/strong>, because it was the\u00a0<strong>original technique<\/strong>\u00a0developed by\u00a0<strong>Dr. Scott<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That was the\u00a0<strong>standard method<\/strong>\u00a0until\u00a0<strong>1981<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Scott was performing a\u00a0<strong>penile implant surgery<\/strong>\u00a0on a patient who had undergone\u00a0<strong>five previous abdominal surgeries<\/strong>. During the procedure, he encountered a\u00a0<strong>serious complication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This forced him to think of a\u00a0<strong>new way to insert the implant<\/strong>, leading to the invention of the\u00a0<strong>penoscrotal approach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After that, the\u00a0<strong>penoscrotal approach<\/strong>\u00a0became the preferred method because it was\u00a0<strong>easier for the surgeon<\/strong>. However, it was\u00a0<strong>not necessarily better for the patient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Professor Wilson explains that\u00a0<strong>early penile implants required large abdominal incisions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Because this was\u00a0<strong>too invasive<\/strong>, surgeons switched to a\u00a0<strong>penoscrotal approach<\/strong>, which was\u00a0<strong>easier for doctors<\/strong>\u00a0but\u00a0<strong>more painful for patients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Then, in the early\u00a0<strong>2000s<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Dr. Paul Perito<\/strong>\u00a0revolutionized the field by\u00a0<strong>modifying the infrapubic approach<\/strong>\u00a0to be\u00a0<strong>minimally invasive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, about\u00a0<strong>85% of surgeons<\/strong>\u00a0used the\u00a0<strong>penoscrotal approach<\/strong>. But today, the numbers have shifted to\u00a0<strong>65% penoscrotal and 35% infrapubic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>However,\u00a0<strong>learning this technique is difficult<\/strong>. It\u2019s not something you can just\u00a0<strong>improvise<\/strong>\u2014it requires\u00a0<strong>proper training and expertise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>4. Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do you like\u00a0<strong>Rome, Italy<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prof. Steven K. Wilson:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I\u00a0<strong>love<\/strong>\u00a0Rome! The\u00a0<strong>food is amazing<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>people are wonderful<\/strong>, and the\u00a0<strong>wine is fantastic<\/strong>. What\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Gabriele Antonini:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tomorrow, we will perform our\u00a0<strong>surgery<\/strong>, but tonight, we will\u00a0<strong>celebrate with a great dinner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Professor Wilson.
