The inflatable penile prosthesis or glans injury treatment consists of two connected cylinders - a reservoir and a pump - that are surgically inserted into the body. The two cylinders are inserted into the penis and connected to a separate saline reservoir by tubing. The reservoir is implanted under the rectus muscles in the lower abdomen. A pump is also connected to the erectile tissue system and sits under the loose skin of the scrotum between the testicles.
Because of the three different components, this penile prosthesis is called a 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis. A two-piece inflatable penile prosthesis consists of only two components;
- the attached cylinders and
- the combined reservoir and pump unit
