Dr. Gabriele Antonini, a well-known urologist and andrologist, recently conducted a high-level training course in penile prosthetic implantology at the Casa di Cura Quisisana in Rome, further consolidating his position as a world leader in this surgical field. The course saw the creation of nine penile prosthesis implants in a single day, using the minimally invasive infrapubic technique, an innovative and highly efficient approach codified in the United States by the famous surgeon Paul Perito.
The course addressed particularly complex cases, demonstrating the technical excellence of Dr. Antonini. Patients treated included:
- Vascular patients affected by induratio penis plastica (PPI) or Peyronie’s disease.
- Post-radical prostatectomy patients with severe erectile dysfunction.
Among the interventions carried out, a complex explant and reimplantation of a malfunctioning prosthesis stands out. The procedure required the removal of a prosthesis with tenacious adhesions between the cylinders and the capsule of the corpus cavernosum, an operation that represents one of the most difficult challenges in prosthetic implantology.
The course saw the participation of Dr. Edoardo Pozzi, a fifth-year specialist in Urology at San Raffaele in Milan, and Prof. Oleksandr Knigavko, a Ukrainian urologist active in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. The participants were able to closely observe and learn the most advanced techniques in penile prosthetic implantology, significantly enriching their technical and cultural background. The possibility of attending nine procedures in a single day was defined by the participants themselves as a unique and educational experience.
Dr. Gabriele Antonini is currently the only surgeon in Europe to practice the minimally invasive infrapubic technique for the implantation of penile prostheses. This approach stands out for the numerous advantages it offers:
- Less invasiveness.
- Reduction of intervention and recovery times.
- Excellent aesthetic and functional results.
Thanks to his expertise and continuous professional development, Dr. Antonini confirms himself as an international point of reference in the sector, attracting specialists from all over the world interested in learning from his cutting-edge techniques. The event organized at the Quisisana Clinic represents a further step forward in the dissemination of best practices in penile prosthetic implantology. Dr. Antonini’s dedication to surgical training and innovation continues to significantly contribute to improving the quality of life of patients and developing the skills of professionals in the sector.
With his constant commitment, Dr. Antonini not only consolidates his position as a world leader, but brings Italy to the center of the international scene regarding advanced urological surgery.
