A male sexual impotence treatment apparatus comprises a constriction
device implanted in an impotent male patient and engaging the patient's
penile tissue. The constriction device includes an elongate adjustable
constriction member extending in a loop around the penile tissue or the
prolongation thereof. A connection device releasably connects the end
portions of the constriction member to each other and an adjustment
device adjusts the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in
the loop to temporarily constrict the penile tissue or the prolongation
thereof to restrict the penile exit blood flow to achieve erection. The
connection device includes a female part and a male part fitting into the
female part to lock them together. The design of the connection device
facilitates laparoscopic surgery for implanting the constriction member.
