A new noninflatable silicone penile prosthesis incorporating a central core of braided silver (Jonas) has been implanted in 29 patients to date. Organic impotence was diagnosed in 24 patients (83%). The complication rate in this initial experience has been .apprx. 10%. Based on a questionnaire returned by 19 patients (66%) the patient/partner satisfaction was uniformly high. Self image was reported as improved in 67%. Initial experience indicates that this prosthesis provides surgical simplicity, superior cosmetic results and an acceptable complication rate compared to other available penile prostheses.
