This type of penile prosthesis consists of two inflatable cylinders placed in the penis and a fluid reservoir that is implanted in the abdomen or scrotum.
To achieve an erection, the individual activates a control pump located in the scrotum, which transfers fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders, creating a firm erection.
After intercourse, the fluid is returned to the reservoir, deflating the cylinders and restoring flaccidity. This ability gives individuals more control over the duration and rigidity of their erection at all times.
Another type of inflatable penile prosthesis wihch is add more in length and girth,The cylinders, placed within the penis, are capable of expanding in both length and girth over time.
In penile prosthesis implantation, the "non touch" technique is designed to minimize the risk of infection during surgery. This method ensures that the prosthesis is implanted without direct contact with the surgeon's hands or the surgical field.
What is the Non Touch Technique?
Advantages of the Non Touch Technique:
Important Considerations for the Non Touch Technique:
Surgeon’s Expertise:
The success of this technique depends on the experience and skill of the surgeon. Therefore, it's important that the surgeon is trained and experienced in using this method.Pre- and
Post-Operative Care:
Despite the use of the non touch technique, pre- and post-operative care is crucial to minimize infection risk. Patients must follow post-surgical instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments.For more detailed information about penile prosthesis implantation and the non touch technique, and to assess whether it is suitable for you, it is advisable to consult with a urology specialist. The specialist can provide personalized advice and determine the best treatment option based on your condition.
These implants are fluid-filled devices, comprising two inflatable cylinders placed within the penis's erection chambers. A hand-controlled pump resides in the scrotum, along with a reservoir for storing fluid when the penis is not erect. To initiate an erection, the patient squeezes the pump multiple times, transferring the fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders. The same pump can deflate the device after use.

The patient can bend the penis into an erect position for sexual activity and back down when not in use. This design makes it particularly suitable for men who desire a less complex or more spontaneous solution to ED.
Before Penile/Penile Prosthesis Surgery:
Medical History: Your healthcare provider will conduct an in-depth inquiry into your medical history, including past and current health status. Information about previous surgeries, medications, and prior treatments for erectile dysfunction will be gathered. Rest assured that all your answers to these questions will remain confidential.
Physical Examination: To determine if a Penile/Penile Prosthesis is the most suitable course of action, you will undergo a comprehensive urological examination. Patients considering a prosthesis should not have an active skin disease, particularly in the genital area, before surgery.
Before the operation, patients opting for penile/penile prosthesis surgery should consider:
The surgery can be conducted under general anesthesia or regional anesthesia (spinal anesthesia). The choice of anesthesia type typically depends on medical requirements, patient preferences, and the decision of the surgical team, which includes the anesthesiologist and the operating physician.
The duration of the surgical procedure typically ranges from 45 minutes to 1 hour. After the operation, patients may have a urinary tract catheter and surgical drains in place. The catheter is usually removed the following day, while the surgical drain is taken out within 2-3 days.
The maximum hospital stay is limited to 2 days.
Upon discharge from the hospital, patients will be provided with antibiotics and pain relievers.
During the recovery period, the penile/penile prosthesis remains semi-inflated and continues in this state until one week after the initial surgery. At the one-week follow-up appointment, the doctor will instruct the patient on operating the pump, which you'll use to inflate and deflate the device leading up to the day of sexual intercourse.
Athletic suspension panties are to be worn for a period of 10 days.
Patients can typically take a bath 2-3 days after the operation, and the stitches do not require removal as they will naturally dissolve.
Mild pain and swelling in the penis and scrotum may persist for 1-2 weeks after the surgery. Heavy exercises and lifting should be avoided for 6 weeks following the procedure.
Sexual intercourse is typically permitted 4-6 weeks after receiving a penile prosthesis. Ejaculation and orgasm are experienced similarly to physiological conditions during intercourse with a penile/penile prosthesis.

When considering penile implant surgery, most patients focus on the type of implant or the cost of the procedure. But one of the most critical factors determining your long-term outcome is something far less discussed: how the surgeon handles the implant during the operation.
At Men's Health Istanbul, Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu and his team use the Non-Touch Technique (NTT) — a gold-standard approach that has been shown by peer-reviewed research to reduce post-operative infection rates to under 0.5%.
The Non-Touch Technique is a specialized surgical approach for penile prosthesis implantation in which the implant never comes into direct contact with the patient's skin, the surgeon's hands, or standard surgical instruments throughout the procedure.
Developed and pioneered by Dr. J. François Eid in 2005, the technique was created based on a straightforward but powerful insight: the primary cause of penile implant infection is contamination by bacteria that naturally live on the skin — specifically Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. aureus, and Candida albicans.
Rather than trying to eliminate all skin bacteria with antibiotics alone (which is impossible), the NTT physically isolates the implant from the skin using sterile barriers, specialized drapes, and a complete change of gloves and instruments at a critical point in the procedure.
🛡️ The Non-Touch Technique is not just a precaution — it is the most evidence-based method available for protecting your implant from infection.
The evidence supporting the Non-Touch Technique is clear and consistent across multiple large-scale studies:
This is not a marginal improvement — it represents a 10-fold reduction in infection risk compared to older surgical methods.
Why does this matter so much? Because an infected penile implant must be completely removed and replaced — a traumatic, costly revision procedure. Some estimates place the cost of treating an infected prosthesis at six times the cost of the original surgery itself.
Our surgical team follows a strict, step-by-step protocol designed to eliminate every possible pathway for bacterial contamination:
This combination of techniques — sterile draping, instrument change, closed system, and coated implants — is what allows us to maintain infection rates that are consistently below 1%.
Not every clinic offering penile implant surgery in Turkey uses the Non-Touch Technique. It requires additional training, a longer setup time, and a highly disciplined surgical team. Many facilities skip it entirely, relying on antibiotics alone.
At Men's Health Istanbul, the NTT is a non-negotiable standard for every primary implant procedure. Prof. Kadıoğlu — who serves as a consultant to both Coloplast and Boston Scientific — applies this technique in every case, whether it is a first-time implant or a complex revision surgery.
📊 With over 2,000 successful procedures performed, our infection rate remains among the lowest in Europe and the Middle East — a direct result of our commitment to the Non-Touch Technique.
The NTT is applicable to all patients undergoing primary penile prosthesis implantation, including men with:
In fact, high-risk patients benefit the most from the Non-Touch Technique, as their baseline infection risk from conventional methods is considerably higher.
Choosing a penile implant is not simply a matter of picking the most popular device. The right implant depends on your anatomy, medical history, sexual goals, and the expertise of your surgeon.
At Men's Health Istanbul, Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu — a consultant to both Coloplast and Boston Scientific — has placed both the Coloplast Titan and the AMS 700 in thousands of patients. This guide explains the real-world differences between these two world-leading devices.
Both the Coloplast Titan and the AMS 700 are three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs) — the most natural-feeling and widely recommended type of penile implant for men with erectile dysfunction.
They consist of two cylinders placed inside the penis, a fluid reservoir implanted behind the abdominal wall, and a small pump in the scrotum.
Despite this shared architecture, the two devices differ in meaningful ways that can affect your comfort, ease of use, and long-term satisfaction.
The Coloplast Titan (and its newer variant, the Titan Touch) is manufactured by Coloplast, a Danish medical device company, and is widely regarded as offering:
⭐ The Coloplast Titan is particularly recommended for patients with diabetes, prior pelvic surgery, or those seeking the simplest pump mechanism.
The AMS 700, manufactured by Boston Scientific, is the world's most extensively studied penile implant with decades of clinical data. Its key features include:
📏 The AMS 700 LGX is often preferred for patients concerned about penile length preservation, as it is the only device designed to expand in both dimensions.
| Feature | Coloplast Titan | AMS 700 |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Coloplast (Denmark) | Boston Scientific (USA) |
| Coating Type | InhibiZone (hydrophilic) | Parylene (polymer) |
| Girth Expansion | Strong | Strong (CX) / Moderate (LGX) |
| Length Expansion | Moderate | Yes — LGX model only |
| Pump Ease of Use | Single-touch, simpler | MS Pump / TENACIO |
| Best For | Diabetes, prior surgery, ease | Length priority, long-term data |
| Longevity | 10–15+ years | 10–15+ years |
| Satisfaction Rate | >90% | >90% |
As a consultant to both manufacturers, Prof. Kadıoğlu has no commercial preference between the two devices. His recommendation is always based solely on the individual patient's anatomy and needs:
The most important factor in your outcome is not which device you choose — it is who places it and how.
Studies consistently show that surgical volume and technique have a greater impact on infection rates, satisfaction, and longevity than the choice of implant brand alone.
If you are considering penile implant surgery and want to understand which approach is safest for your specific situation, our team at Men's Health Istanbul is available for a free, confidential online consultation.
