Restoring Quality of Life: A Guide to AMS 700 and AMS 800 Prosthetic Solutions

For men recovering from prostate cancer treatments, severe trauma, or long-term chronic conditions, two of the most significant challenges to face are severe Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Urinary Incontinence. When lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor exercises, and medications fail to provide relief, advanced urological prostheses offer a definitive pathway back to normalcy.

The AMS 700™ Inflatable Penile Prosthesis and the AMS 800™ Artificial Urinary Sphincter represent the global gold standards in male pelvic health restoration.

At Aavya Health, we specialize in connecting patients across Africa—including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and beyond—with India’s premier urological surgeons and JCI-accredited medical centers, ensuring world-class clinical outcomes with absolute privacy.


AMS 700: The Gold Standard for Erectile Dysfunction

The AMS 700 is a three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis designed to mimic the natural process of an erection. It consists of two cylinders placed inside the penis, a small pump positioned discreetly in the scrotum, and a fluid reservoir placed in the lower abdomen.

The Mechanism

When an erection is desired, the patient squeezes the scrotal pump a few times. This moves fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders, creating a firm, natural-feeling erection. A deflation valve on the pump returns the fluid back to the reservoir when the erection is no longer needed.

Success and Satisfaction Rates

The AMS 700 boasts exceptionally high clinical success rates:

  • Patient Satisfaction: Studies consistently demonstrate that 90% to 95% of patients report high satisfaction, noting that the device meets or exceeds their expectations.

  • Partner Satisfaction: Approximately 90% of partners report a highly positive impact on intimacy and relationship quality.

  • Durability: Modern enhancements, including antibiotic coatings (InhibiZone™), ensure that over 85% of devices remain fully functional beyond 10 to 15 years.


AMS 800: Ultimate Control for Male Urinary Incontinence

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is a common side effect following a radical prostatectomy (prostate cancer removal). The AMS 800 is an implantable, fluid-filled device designed to treat severe male incontinence by mimicking a healthy, natural urinary sphincter.

The Mechanism

The system includes an inflatable cuff placed around the urethra, a pressure-regulating balloon in the abdomen, and a control pump placed in the scrotum. The cuff remains inflated by default, keeping the urethra closed to prevent accidental leaks. To urinate, the patient squeezes the scrotal pump, which temporarily relaxes the cuff and allows urine to flow naturally. The cuff automatically reinflates after a few minutes.

Success and Restoration Rates

  • Continence Rates: Between 85% and 90% of patients achieve complete dryness or significant improvement (requiring only one precautionary pad or none per day).

  • Quality of Life: Over 92% of men who undergo the AMS 800 procedure state they would recommend it to a friend facing similar incontinence challenges.


Achieving Maximum Success: Factors for a “100% Outcome”

While no surgical procedure can guarantee a statistical 100% cure rate due to individual biological variations, achieving a perfect clinical outcome—defined as a fully functional device, zero infection, and total patient satisfaction—depends entirely on four critical factors:

1. Meticulous Infection Control

The absolute priority in prosthetic urology is preventing infection. Once a device is contaminated, it must usually be removed. Top-tier surgeons in India utilize strict “no-touch” techniques during surgery, alongside the AMS 700’s specialized antibiotic-impregnated materials, reducing the risk of surgical site infections to under 1-2%.

2. Precision Component Sizing

Every individual’s anatomy is unique. A perfect outcome relies heavily on the surgeon’s ability to accurately measure the corporal length (for the AMS 700) or the urethral circumference (for the AMS 800). Under-sizing leads to inadequate performance, while over-sizing can cause tissue erosion. Choosing a high-volume, expert uro-surgeon is vital.

3. Patient Optimization and Selection

Pre-existing conditions like uncontrolled diabetes can compromise healing and increase infection risks. A successful medical journey requires bringing the patient’s blood sugar (HbA1c levels) into an optimal zone well before the surgical date.

4. Dedicated Post-Operative Training

The surgery is only half the journey. Both the AMS 700 and AMS 800 remain “deactivated” for roughly 6 weeks post-surgery to allow the tissues to heal around the implants. A successful outcome requires dedicated clinical staff to teach the patient how to cycle and operate the pumps correctly once the doctor gives the clearance.


Why African Patients Trust Aavya Health for Urology Care in India
