International reference in advanced andrological surgery<\/h2>\n

\"\"Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of alterations in the male sexual and reproductive sphere, Josvany S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> has established himself as a reference figure in the field of andrology. A graduate in Medicine from the University of Havana and trained as a specialist in Andrology at Fundaci\u00f3 Puigvert, his career is marked by expertise in andrological microsurgery, genital reconstructive surgery, and treatment of Peyronie’s disease and other penile curvatures.<\/p>\n

In parallel to his clinical activity, he coordinates the Clinical Andrology Master’s program at the University of Vic \u2013 Central University of Catalonia (UVic – UCC)<\/a> and develops an intense research activity at the Andrology Research Group at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau)<\/a>, participating in numerous national and international studies and clinical trials.<\/p>\n

A definitive solution for a problem affecting 2 million men<\/h2>\n

The implantation of a penile prosthesis represents the most effective treatment for patients with erectile dysfunction who do not respond to conventional treatments, whether pharmacological or local to the penis. This is a particularly common situation in men who have undergone pelvic surgery, radiotherapy due to prostate cancer, or who suffer from diabetes with vascular complications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe penile prosthesis is a definitive solution that allows the recovery of sexual function with very high satisfaction levels, both for patients and their partners,\u201d explains Josvany S\u00e1nchez.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Erectile dysfunction affects approximately one in five men in Spain, which means nearly two million people. Although its prevalence increases with age, it can also appear suddenly as a consequence of certain medical treatments or surgical interventions.<\/p>\n

The current clinical guidelines of the European Association of Urology (EAU)<\/a> consider the penile prosthesis a fully established therapeutic option and recommend that it may be chosen as the first alternative for those patients who, properly informed, prefer it. Satisfaction rates exceed 90%, placing it among the highest in all urological functional surgery.<\/p>\n

Invisible technology and personalized treatment<\/h2>\n

Fundaci\u00f3 Puigvert is one of the centers with the most experience in uroandrological prosthetic surgery in the State, with nearly 1,500 penile prosthesis interventions in the last 25 years<\/strong>, more than 500 of which have been performed by Josvany S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n

The success of the program is based on a personalized selection of the most suitable device for each patient. Currently, two main types of prostheses are used:<\/p>\n
