Bionic Penises in Hospitals

Thirteen men received bionic penises in public hospitals last year — a 60% jump from the prior year — costing over 450,000 euros total. These hydraulic implants, often three-piece systems with pumps and reservoirs, restore function for men with organic impotence. While 86% of patients from past studies reported satisfaction, complications like device failure or infection led 13 to need follow-up surgeries. Costs vary widely — private clinics in the UK charge nearly 35,000 euros per procedure — and these public hospital figures likely understate the true volume. The HSE confirms procedures are only done when clinically necessary, but exact cost breakdowns remain unavailable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
