Table of Contents [Hide]

Deciding to go for penile implant surgery is a significant step. At Erlanger East Hospital , we understand the importance of meeting every health and medical benchmark to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. In the hands of our esteemed Dr. Anand Shridharani, you can be certain that the criteria for penile implant surgery are not just followed, but thoroughly evaluated to tailor the procedure to your unique needs. With this approach, our team is dedicated to supporting your journey towards improved wellbeing and confidence.

It's all about making sure that you're in tip-top shape and that the elective procedure is the right fit for you. That's why we've set robust guidelines in place. From assessing your general health to understanding your expectations, every inch of the process is clearly outlined so that there are no surprises - only results that aim to enhance your quality of life.

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's clarify what penile implant surgery entails. This procedure involves placing a device inside the penis to create an erection. It's designed for men who have erectile dysfunction (ED) that hasn't responded to other treatments. Penile implants are all about restoring function and pleasure, giving you back control over your intimate moments.

It's a decision you want to be sure of, and we are here to make that process as smooth as possible. Our focus is on supporting you every step of the way - right from the get-go.

Now for the essentials. Dr. Anand Shridharani has developed a comprehensive list of criteria to ensure that anyone considering penile implant surgery with Erlanger East Hospital is a suitable candidate. We examine your medical history, current health status, and the specific details of your ED to determine if this procedure will be beneficial for you.

What's more, we're not in the business of leaving any stone unturned. We go beyond the basics to ensure your total readiness, both physically and emotionally, for the surgery and the new chapter it represents.

Let's talk about the pre-procedure stage. This is where we sit down with you and really hash out what the surgery means and what it can do for you. You'll have a chance to ask all the questions swirling in your head, and trust us, no topic is off-limits. Dr. Anand Shridharani is all ears when it comes to addressing your concerns.

Whether it's worries about recovery time, the nitty-gritty of the operation, or how it'll affect your day-to-day life, we've got the answers that'll put your mind at ease.

So, who's a good fit for this surgery? Well, if you're struggling with ED that's not getting along with other treatments, like medications or devices, a penile implant might just be what the doctor ordered. And at Erlanger East Hospital , our team will evaluate your individual situation to give it to you straight.

But it's not all about meeting specific medical conditions. We also zoom in on your personal goals and expectations. It's vital to ensure that the surgery aligns with what you want out of it. And rest assured, we'll walk you through the potential outcomes and realistic improvements to your life.

Getting to know your medical background is super important to us. That way, we can gauge whether a penile implant is not just viable but also safe for you. We're talking about everything from chronic conditions to the vitamins you're popping. The more we know, the better we can serve you.

This isn't about digging up dirt; it's about laying down a solid foundation for a successful surgery and sparkling recovery.

We've got our lab coats on and our stethoscopes ready! Before giving the green light, you'll go through a thorough physical examination. Plus, we'll likely ask for some tests to get to the heart of your ED issues. Think of this as dotting the i's and crossing the t's - it's all about precision, folks!

Everything we do here is geared towards ensuring that you get the best care, tailored just for you.

Let's be real, no surgery comes without risks. But don't you worry - we lay it all out. We talk about what could go sideways and how we plan to handle it if it does. It's about being transparent and empowering you with knowledge.

Our goal is for you to step into this with eyes wide open and a heart full of confidence in the decision you're making.

We're here for that part as well. Our team is all about providing a shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen.

We're firm believers that being in a good headspace is just as crucial as being physically fit for the surgery. So, we'll support you in ensuring your heart and mind are on board too.
