Best Penile Implant Surgeon in Jordan
Penile implant surgery is the permanent surgical solution for chronic erectile dysfunction, when the condition no longer responds to medication or injections. It is performed by Dr. Yaman Al Tall, consultant urologist and men's health specialist, who holds a Coloplast Global Center of Excellence certification and the European subspecialty certification in sexual medicine (UEMS) — the only surgeon in Jordan with this credential.
What Is a Penile Implant?
A penile implant is an effective solution for chronic erectile dysfunction, available in two main types: a bendable silicone implant and an inflatable hydraulic implant. The implant is placed through a simple surgical incision in the penis, allowing the patient to achieve a firm, on-demand erection. It is also known as a "penile prosthesis," and is entirely different from external vacuum erection devices.
Physicians typically turn to this procedure when medications and injections have failed. It is a day-case procedure that allows the patient to leave the hospital the same day, with sexual activity resumed after a recovery period of approximately 45 days.
Types of Penile Implants
Silicone Implant (Malleable)
A flexible implant that's simple to use and control, using an older technology relative to the hydraulic option. Demand for it is currently lower due to relatively lower patient satisfaction, but it remains a suitable choice for certain cases. Read the full details on the malleable implant page.
Hydraulic Implant (Inflatable)
Made up of three parts with a small pump the patient uses to achieve an erection, with the penis returning to its natural size afterward. It costs more due to the device's technology, and is the most requested option because of its higher satisfaction rate. Read the full details on the inflatable hydraulic implant page.
Benefits of Penile Implant Surgery
- Simple surgical procedure, usually under an hour
- No need for ongoing medication afterward
- Patient discharged from the hospital the same day
- Full restoration of sexual function
- A permanent solution compared to temporary medical options
- Suitable for most ages, including older patients
Complications & Risks of the Procedure
Penile implant surgery is very safe, and the recorded complication rate is very low. The most notable possible (rare) complications:
- Infection: avoided through high-level sterilization techniques.
- Glans pain: usually results from imprecise implant sizing, and improves over time in most patients.
- Urethral injury: rare, and usually linked to pre-existing scarring in the area.
- Delayed orgasm: improves gradually as the body adjusts to the implant.
- Mild curvature of the glans: the result of an implant sized shorter than needed.

The final cost is determined after the medical consultation, since the treatment plan is customized for each patient's condition. Approximate foreign currency prices depend on the exchange rate on the day of payment.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
Neurological Causes
Conditions such as Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, as well as spinal cord injuries that block nerve signals from reaching the penis.
Cardiovascular Causes
High blood pressure and hardened arteries impede the blood flow needed for an erection.
Psychological Causes
About 20% of cases are linked to anxiety, depression, and psychological or marital stress.
Hormonal Causes
Diabetes and endocrine disorders are among the most prominent hormonal causes of erectile dysfunction.
Medication-Related Causes
Some medications (sedatives, blood pressure medications, muscle relaxants) can cause erectile dysfunction as a side effect.
Does Every Case Need an Implant Right Away?
The implant is a definitive treatment, not necessarily the first option. Evaluation begins with an accurate diagnosis of the condition and identifying the cause, then choosing the most appropriate treatment — which may include managing an underlying factor (such as diabetes or blood pressure) or adjusting a medication causing the problem, before considering surgical intervention.
Oral Medications
Such as Viagra and Cialis — they improve blood flow to the penis. Their side effects are usually mild and temporary, and require consulting a specialist before starting.
Non-Oral Medications
For those who don't respond to oral medication, such as Alprostadil injections or suppositories. Side effects can include prolonged erection and a local burning sensation.
Medication is temporary in effect and tied to a specific timing before intercourse, while a penile implant is a radical and permanent solution to the problem.

The implant is an excellent, definitive solution that restores the patient's sexual function permanently. Other, less effective options exist (medication, injections), but they don't offer guaranteed results to the same degree as the implant.
With adherence to pre- and post-operative instructions, it is considered very safe and suitable for most ages — it has been performed safely on patients over eighty years old.
All types are effective, but the choice depends on the patient's condition and age: some cases suit the bendable malleable implant, others suit the hydraulic type. The medical consultation is what determines the most suitable type.
The implant does not treat premature ejaculation specifically, but the erection remains firm until intercourse is complete. Normal sensation is not noticeably affected after placement.
The procedure does not exceed one hour when performed by a highly experienced urologic surgeon.
It's advisable to wait about 45 days before resuming intercourse after implant placement surgery.
Shaving of the pubic area, followed by general anesthesia and placement of a urinary catheter, a small incision below the glans, insertion of the implant cylinders into the erectile tissue, and finally closing the wound with sutures.
