Penile prosthesis implantation places an inflatable or bendable device inside the penis to allow erections, normally when other treatments for erectile dysfunction have not worked.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust says that a penile prosthesis is normally considered when tablets, injections or vacuum devices have not worked or are unsuitable, and that natural erections are lost after the operation.

An inflatable device has two cylinders in the penis, a fluid reservoir in the lower abdomen and a pump in the scrotum.

The Christie describes a usual one-night stay, training to inflate the device from about two to three weeks and sexual activity after a review at about six weeks.

It reports infection in about 1 in 100, higher with diabetes or repeat surgery, mechanical failure in about 1 in 20 by 10 years and erosion in between 1 in 20 and 1 in 50.

Flying home: there is no aviation figure for this procedure, so book after the surgeon's review and ask how to lower clot risk on a long flight.

A Gurgaon quote for penile prosthesis implantation is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Device: inflatable or malleable.
• Brand: and model.
• Stay: commonly one night.
• Follow-up: and training to use it.

Confirm whether the Gurgaon estimate includes the surgeon, theatre, any catheter or stent and its removal, the stay and follow-up tests.
