The inflatable penile implant consists of the following components - two cylinders, one reservoir, and one pump. These parts are surgically placed inside the patient’s body. The surgeon places the cylinders in the penis and then connects it with tubing to a reservoir filled with fluid. The reservoir is inserted below the muscles of the lower abdomen and the pump is connected to the system. It remains under the skin of the scrotal sac, i.e between the testicles. To inflate the implant, the man has to press on the pump. While this does not put any pressure on the testicles, the fluid from the reservoir gets transferred to the cylinders in the penis. This results in inflation of the implant system and producing an erection. The man can press on the deflation valve located at the base of the pump to return the fluid back to the reservoir. This causes deflation of the penis.
