An inflatable penile prosthesis was implanted in 95 patients between 1977 and 1983. The patients were divided into 3 groups with roughly equal numbers studied during 2-year intervals. Of the prostheses 48 per cent have been revised or removed, or have failed during followup. The complication rate increased with the duration of followup.
