The standard Mentor inflatable is an extremely reliable prosthesis that will provide complete satisfaction in 87 to 99 per cent of the patients in whom it is implanted. The proved long-term reliability and superior functional characteristics of the three-component Mentor prosthesis make it a standard investigators may use to compare the recently introduced mechanical and modified inflatable prostheses. The short-term results of the new Mentor GFS prosthesis also are encouraging. The new prosthesis provides an attractive alternative to the standard inflatable prosthesis in patients with normal-sized genitalia, especially for surgeons who prefer to implant the device through a penoscrotal incision.
