The authors report their experience of the implantation of inflatable penile prostheses in the surgical management of impotence. They have implanted twenty prostheses with a followup of two years to three months. The overall results are very satisfactory in terms of the quality of the sexual life of the couple (85%). On the other hand, the postoperative morbidity rate is high, with 40% of complications including 20% requiring reoperation.
