Zusammenfassung:	Prosthesis surgery for management of erectile impotence has become an increasingly important aspect of urology. The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) provides the impotent patient with a controllable, natural-appearing and physiologically functional penis. Major modifications in the prosthesis and in the surgical implantation technique have been made since its initial introduction. In this article we present a histologic review of the IPP and our ten-year experience with it.
