Abstract
Erectile impotence has been a problem for the patient and a frustration for the physician since the beginning of medical history. The inflatable penile prosthesis rapidly is becoming the standard for treatment of organic erectile impotence. A technique is described for implantation through a single midline scrotal incision. Intra-abdominal reservoir placement is possible through this incision. The technique shortens operative time and hospital stay, and minimizes postoperative patient discomfort. Of the 31 patients who were managed in this way the postoperative course for 18 has been more than 12 mo. The results as judged by patient and sexual partner were excellent.
