“…The remaining three patients replied either by not having a sexual partner, refused to reply, or were not sexually active any more. From the data of the 15 cooperating patients, the mean (range) IIEF questionnaire score was 21.80 (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). The EDITS scores were evaluated as follows: all items on the 11-item patient EDITS were scored from zero (no satisfaction or dissatisfaction) to 4 (high satisfaction).…”

“…Conversely, several studies have highlighted implant complications and disadvantages, such as pain, postoperative appearance of the penis, insufficient firmness, altered erectile sensation, reduced penile length compared with recalled preoperative dimensions, decreased sensation during ejaculation, and difficulty with using the prosthetic devices, as major reasons for dissatisfaction with penile implants [14,15].…”

OBJECTIVE To assess the satisfaction profiles following penile prosthesis surgery in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) in their seventh decade of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 174 patients received, for the first time, a penile prosthesis between 1990 and 2007 in our department. Among these, 35 patients were aged ≥70 years at prosthesis implantation. Of these, 18 patients were still alive at the time of follow‐up. Using a telephone survey, patients were asked to answer the Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) as well as the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF). Another question in the survey was developed by the authors based on a comprehensive review of the literature, which assessed the usefulness of the device for the patient and the degree of their usage. This was formulated as follows: How many times per 2 weeks do you have a sexual intercourse? RESULTS In all, 15 of 18 patients were either very or somewhat satisfied (83%). At follow‐up 11 out of 15 (73%) patients were using their prosthesis regularly. The mean IIEF and EDITS scores were 21.80 and 75.20, respectively. CONCLUSION A penile prosthesis remains a highly promising treatment in older patients with a similar satisfaction rate to those published for younger patients. Thus, the motivation of the patient and not the age of the patient should be the main determinant factor in this surgical procedure.

“…The majority of patients for whom it is a treatment option have found other options ineffective, have structural damage to the corpora secondary to PD or priapism, or are unwilling to consider alternative treatments or find such options unpalatable [13]. Overall satisfaction rates with penile prosthetic surgery are high, with more than 80% of patients and their partners being happy with the result of the implant [14–17]. It is likely that the satisfaction level with implants is high in large part due to the excellent penile rigidity and rapidity of response, resulting in an associated improvement in sexual relations [8].…”

Purpose Penile prosthetic surgery is associated with satisfaction rates >90% for the general penile implant population. It is suggested that satisfaction rates may be lower in certain populations. This study was undertaken to define potential predictors of satisfaction. Methods Patients undergoing penile prosthesis surgery completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) prior to surgery, and the IIEF and Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) questionnaires at least 6 months postoperatively accompanied by a Global Satisfaction Question (GSQ). Results A total of 114 patients constituted the study population. Subgroups evaluated included patients with Peyronie’s disease (PD), body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2, radical prostatectomy (RP), and patient age > 70 years. The mean patient age and duration of ED were 59 ± 14 and 3.2 ± 1.9 years, respectively. All groups demonstrated statistically significant differences between pre- and postoperative scores for the IIEF and EDITS. Patients with PD, a history of RP, and BMI > 30 kg/m2 had significantly lower scores on the GSQ, IIEF satisfaction domain, and EDITS compared with the general implant population. Only PD impacted negatively on the postoperative IIEF erectile function domain score. On the multivariate analysis, factors associated with ≥5-point difference in the IIEF satisfaction domain score compared with the general implant population were PD (RR = 4.2), RP (RR = 2.2), and BMI > 30 (RR = 1.8). Conclusions These data suggest that men diagnosed with PD, BMI > 30, or previous RP undergoing penile prosthesis surgery have lower satisfaction rates than the general penile implant population.

“…When conservative measures fail, patients may select a penile prosthesis, which can provide an excellent alternative. Improvements in technology and surgical techniques have made penile implant surgery a safe option for ED, and multiple series have shown a high satisfaction rate for implants [7][8][9][10][11][12]. A recent study indicates that patients who receive an inflatable penile implant achieve better treatment satisfaction and erectile function than those treated with sildenafil or intracavernous alprostadil [13•].…”
