Coral Gables Hospital, in conjunction with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Department of Urology announced that on March 26, 2007 at 4:00 PM EDT, they would host a surgical webcast featuring innovative, minimally invasive penile implant surgery.
Each year, approximately 25,000 patients elect to receive a Penile Implant, which is relatively few compared to the nearly 900,000 ( (Massachusetts Male Aging Study’00) men who are diagnosed with some degree of ED, annually. The two surgeons each utilize a different approach for the procedure and will discuss and debate the merits of their personal preferences during the webcast, as both techniques provide distinct benefits to patients. Severe Erectile Dysfunction (also known as “Drug Resistant ED”) generally cannot be treated by popular pills such as Viagra® or Cialis®. The implant is a small, saline-filled device that is entirely concealed in the body and boasts some of the highest patient satisfaction results amongst any prosthetic treatment (i.e. hips, knees, back, etc).
“By significantly reducing the operative time associated with previous versions of this procedure, we improve the quality of life for our patients,” Dr. Perito continued, “My Minimally Invasive approach takes less than 15 minutes. I believe that reduction of redundant steps in the OR directly has helped provide a much shorter recovery process for the patient.” Many patients of Drs. Eid and Perito are managed on an Outpatient basis versus the traditional overnight required with most implant procedures. The innovative techniques of both surgeons and similar specialists throughout the country provide improved cosmetic results, as the implant is placed through a small, 1”-1.5” opening.Coral Gables Hospital, in conjunction with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Department of Urology announced that on March 26, 2007 at 4:00 PM...all »Coral Gables Hospital, in conjunction with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Department of Urology announced that on March 26, 2007 at 4:00 PM EDT, they would host a surgical webcast featuring innovative, minimally invasive penile implant surgery.
