ABSTRACT:
A male impotence treatment apparatus comprises an adjustable prosthesis device (2) implanted in an impotent patient. The prosthesis device engages the corpus cavernosum or penile tissue of the patient to provide flaccid or erect state of the penis. An implanted adjustment device is adapted to adjust the prosthesis such that the penis can be temporarily erected. The prosthesis is preferably controlled with a remote control and an implanted powered operation device (246), which may include servo means, operates the adjustment device.
