In the latest episode of Meet the Penis, Dr. Perito addresses a common misconception that inflatable penile implants need to be replaced regularly. While some penile implants fail (1-2% / year when done by an experienced surgeon), most can be used for the duration of the life of the patient. If complications do present themselves, it's possible to perform a revision on the implant rather than needing to replace it entirely. Overall, inflatable penile implants are reliable and longer lasting than hip / knee / shoulder replacements.
