Five key points about Kenya’s historic penile implant surgery

Doctors in Kenya made history on February 17 after a successful penile implant surgery carried out on a 44-year-old man in the capital Nairobi.

Below are five key points worthy of note about the procedure

1 – It was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, a leading private hospital in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.

2 – It is a historic operation for the East and Central African regions.

3 – According to the medics, the procedure costs about Ksh800,000 ($7,041) to Ksh1 million ($8,801).

4 – The surgeons principally implanted a prosthesis device in the penis to help the patient ejaculate as it should be.

5 – The operation required rare specialised expertise, a sub-specialty in urology and took about an hour to complete.

What the lead surgeon told local press:

Dr. Ahmed Yousef, a consultant urologist and the lead surgeon, gave insights into the operation and its outcomes. 

“The advantage of this surgery is that the man can have intercourse anytime they like without using medication.

“Through this procedure, his erectile dysfunction condition has been treated. If he had an issue with premature ejaculation, it will also be treated by this procedure,” he said.

“The man can now have sex with a woman whenever he wants as long as he wants in any style he wants wherever he wants and the success rate is 95-97 percent,” Dr. Yousef said.

“The advantage of this surgery is that the man can have intercourse anytime they like without using a medication,” the lead surgeon, Dr Ahmed Yousef, added.

“It is a very nice and short procedure. It is around one hour, and then he had a good erection,” Dr Yousef told Kenya’s Citizen TV.
