Dr. Ramos was assisted by fellow SMMC Urologist Dr. Carlos Rojas and Elliott Garcia-Pietri, Product Specialist from Boston Scientific, who assisted Dr. Ramos remotely through the great technology of smart glasses.
This was shared in a press release on from Mitec Medical on Thursday.
The patient now has a prosthesis called AMS 700, a Boston Scientific company medical solution that is available in the Caribbean through Mitec Medical. This permanent prosthesis offers concealed support for an erection whenever and wherever desired.
According to the release, this procedure allows patients go home the next day. It includes a pair of cylinders implanted in the penis, a pump placed inside the scrotum, and a reservoir of saline placed in the lower abdomen.
Squeezing and releasing the pump moves fluid into the cylinders, creating an erection. Deflate the device by pressing the deflate button on the pump. The penis then returns to a soft, flaccid and natural-looking state.
“The AMS 700 implantation can allow patients to have intimacy again, good self-esteem, and better relationship with their partners,” said Mitec. “Recent data, show that patients report a 97-per-cent satisfaction rate, 96 per cent partners reported sexual activity with the implant to be excellent or satisfactory, 95 per cent patients reported no change or better orgasm following the surgery, and 98 per cent of patients reported satisfactory or excellent erections following the surgery.”
After the procedure, Dr. Ramos said that the patient is doing great and in his own words, “There is no reason for men to suffer in silence, there is a solution that allows them to get back in control of their erectile function.”
Erectile dysfunction is a problem that affects millions of men around the world, and it has a great impact on their quality of life. It can affect men of all ages and in many cases is caused by something physical.
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection that is firm enough to have sexual intercourse. In other words, the penis does not get hard enough to allow you to have sex.
Common causes include heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, sickle cell disease, high cholesterol, tobacco use, and sleep disorders, among others.
However, with this new device there is hope for men with erectile dysfunction.

Erectie problemen is nooit een probleem op zich daar kunnen andere problemen daar ten grondslag liggen zoals psychische problemen, hartkwalen of suikerziekte.
Het is dus te hopen dat deze heren urologen dus niet alleen voor een stijve gaan maar een grondig onderzoek vooraf eisen.
Het zal voor een vrouw wel gênant zijn als haar man bij hoeren bezoek een hartaanval krijgt en met een erectie begraven wordt.
“An erection whenever and wherever desired”. Nou dit klinkt als de droom van elke man. Dit kon toch ook al met een pomp? Waarom zou een man 24 uur per dag een erectie willen hebben, vraag ik me af.
