Thanks for the question. I assume that you would have been informed at the time of your surgery that penile implantation would not last for a long time. There is no way to know when the device can fail. When it fails its not easy to fix it. It is necessary to perform a surgery to replace the device. It would be best to consult a urologist or the surgeon who performed the initial surgery.
