Vascular Surgery for Erectile Dysfunction
Talk to our team
In this article 8 sections
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can significantly affect quality of life, but a wide range of effective treatments now exists — from non-invasive shockwave therapy and PRP injections to penile implants with the highest satisfaction rates in urology. Turkey has become a popular destination for ED treatment, offering the same devices and specialist care at 60–70% below UK and US prices. This guide compares every option honestly — including which surgeries are still recommended and which are not — so you can make an informed decision.
| You want the most reliable permanent solution | → Penile implant (highest satisfaction) |
| You want a non-surgical option | → Shockwave therapy (ESWT) or P-Shot |
| You're a younger man with trauma-related ED | → Vascular surgery may be considered |
| You want the lowest cost | → Turkey — 60–70% below UK/USA |
| Which surgery is NOT generally recommended? | → Vascular reconstruction (limited evidence) |
Erectile dysfunction treatment options compared
Not all ED treatments are equal — they differ in how invasive they are, how long results last, success rates, and cost. The table below compares the main options available in Turkey, with all-inclusive Turkey pricing against UK and US costs.
| Treatment | Type | 🇹🇷 Turkey cost | 🇬🇧🇺🇸 UK / USA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Penile implant (inflatable / semi-rigid) | Surgical — permanent | €4,500 – €8,000 | $15,000 – $35,000 |
| Shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) | Non-invasive | $800 – $1,600 | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| P-Shot (PRP injection) | Non-surgical | €225 – €900 | $1,500 – $3,000 |
| Vascular surgery (revascularization) | Surgical — selective | Case-by-case * | $30,000 – $50,000 |
* Vascular surgery is only appropriate for a small, specific group of patients (see below) and is assessed individually rather than offered as a standard package.
Penile implants — the most reliable ED solution
Among all ED treatments, penile implants have the highest success and satisfaction rates in urology. These devices are surgically placed inside the penis and allow a man to achieve an erection on demand — remaining discreet and natural-looking when not in use. Inflatable implants offer full control over firmness and duration; semi-rigid implants are simpler and can be significantly more affordable.
In Turkey, penile implant surgery costs €4,500–€8,000 all-inclusive, compared with $15,000–$35,000 in the UK and USA. For the full breakdown of implant types, procedure detail and pricing, see our dedicated guide: Penile Implant Surgery Cost Turkey →
Shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) — non-invasive ED treatment
Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) uses sound waves to stimulate new blood vessel growth and improve blood flow to the penis — without surgery, incisions, or downtime. A typical course is 6–8 sessions of 10–15 minutes each. It is best suited to men with mild-to-moderate vascular ED and is often combined with PRP for enhanced results.
In Turkey, a full shockwave course costs $800–$1,600, versus around $3,000–$5,000 in the UK and USA — a saving of roughly 66% for the same technology.
P-Shot (PRP) — regenerative ED treatment
The P-Shot (Priapus Shot) uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the patient's own blood, injected to support tissue repair and improve blood flow. Because it uses the body's own material, it is considered a safe, natural option for men with mild ED or those seeking tissue rejuvenation and performance enhancement. In Turkey, a P-Shot session starts from around €225, with combined PRP-and-shockwave packages from €490–€900.
Vascular surgery for ED — when is it appropriate?
Vascular surgery aims to improve blood flow by repairing damaged vessels or bypassing blocked arteries. There are two types: arterial revascularization (bypassing blocked arteries) and venous ligation (tying off leaking veins). It is important to be honest about the evidence here.
At The More Clinics, our specialists assess whether vascular surgery is genuinely appropriate for your case — and will honestly recommend a better-evidenced option where one exists, rather than pushing a procedure unlikely to help you.

At The More Clinics in Antalya, packages are all-inclusive (treatment, hospital, hotel and transfers), and every patient is assigned a dedicated Personal Treatment Assistant who coordinates the entire journey with full confidentiality.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best treatment for erectile dysfunction?
It depends on the cause and severity. Penile implants have the highest success and satisfaction rates for men who have not responded to other treatments. For milder cases, non-invasive options such as shockwave therapy or the P-Shot may be sufficient. A urologist's assessment determines the best fit for your case.
How much does ED treatment cost in Turkey?
It varies by treatment: penile implants €4,500–€8,000, shockwave therapy $800–$1,600, and the P-Shot from €225. All are 60–70% below UK and US prices, and Turkey packages are all-inclusive of hotel and transfers.
Is vascular surgery a good option for ED?
Only for a small, specific group — younger men with trauma-related ED and no other vascular risk factors. It is not recommended as a general ED treatment, and for most men a penile implant, shockwave therapy or P-Shot is more reliable. See our honest assessment above.
Does shockwave therapy for ED actually work?
Shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) can improve erectile function in men with mild-to-moderate vascular ED by stimulating new blood vessel growth. Results build over a course of 6–8 sessions and typically last 1–2 years. It works best for the right candidate, which a urologist can determine.
Are penile implants permanent?
Yes. Penile implants are a long-term solution, with modern devices lasting 15–20 years in men with good health and proper care. Note that once an implant is placed, other erection treatments are generally no longer effective, as the implant replaces the natural mechanism.
The Last Word from The More Clinics
Erectile dysfunction is highly treatable, and the right option depends on the cause, severity, and your goals. Penile implants offer the most reliable permanent solution; shockwave therapy and the P-Shot provide non-invasive routes for milder cases. Vascular surgery has a narrow, specific role. What matters most is an honest assessment — not being steered toward the most expensive or least-evidenced option.
