ABSTRACT:
A device and method for impotence correction. A device is implanted inside the body. It is programmable and controllable from outside the body. The press of a button sends a signal which initiates a process which simulates the body's natural reproductive processes. In a preferred embodiment, a programmable electronic device is implanted under abdominal muscle rectus. An electrical conductor is fixed to the surface of the pelvic splanchnic nerve. Stimulation of this nerve by low voltage electrical pulses from the electronic device causes neuromediators release which causes penis arterioles dilation which initiates erection. The electronic device is controlled by a controller operated by the patient or his partner. A second preferred embodiment also provides for emission stimulation. Emission is stimulated by electrical excitation of the pelvic plexus nerves from separate conductors from the electronic device.
