What is the revision surgery rate and long-term survival curve for penile implants in modern cohorts?

Modern cohorts show that (IPP) have high early survival with a gradual decline over decades—roughly 87–96% functioning at 3–5 years depending on cohort and metric, falling to about 60–64% at 15 years ...

What are long-term mechanical failure rates by manufacturer for 3-piece versus 2-piece penile implants?

Three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (3-piece IPPs) show high short- and mid-term mechanical survivability but measurable component-failure and revision rates emerge over longer follow-up; reporte...
