Can penile prosthesis implantation be performed if the individual is uncircumcised?

Yes, penile prosthesis implantation can be performed on individuals who are uncircumcised. The procedure is not limited to circumcised individuals and can be successfully carried out on both circumcised and uncircumcised men.

The surgical technique for penile prosthesis implantation may vary slightly based on whether a patient is circumcised or uncircumcised. In uncircumcised individuals, the surgeon will need to make an incision to access the penis and insert the prosthesis. This incision may be made through the foreskin (prepuce) or a separate incision may be created, depending on the specific case and surgeon’s preference.

It’s essential to consult with a urologist or specialist experienced in penile prosthetic surgery to discuss the procedure, evaluate your specific needs, and determine the most appropriate approach based on your individual anatomy and medical history. The surgeon will consider various factors to ensure a successful outcome while preserving the natural appearance and function of the penis.
