Dr. G. Garaffa (London) and group compared 129 patients who had correction of Peyronie’s by insertion of an inflatable penile implant versus 80 of those who had a semi-rigid rod type implant.  Despite revision surgery in 18 of the first group versus 8 in the second group, the satisfaction rate for inflatables was higher 86% versus 72%.   Our experience has been after you show an inflatable model on the desk top versus a semi-rigid rod almost all patients will opt for an inflatable after learning of the pros and cons.
