Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis is a treatment option for erectile dysfunction.
  • Assessing patient satisfaction is crucial for evaluating treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with the Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis.
  • To identify factors influencing satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was sent to 251 patients who received the prosthesis.
  • 152 patients (61%) responded, reporting on recovery, satisfaction, erection quality, and psychosexual parameters.

Main Results:

  • 88% of patients engaged in regular sexual activity.
  • 81-89% reported satisfaction with the prosthesis.
  • 68% were satisfied with erection quality (length, width, firmness).
  • Most patients experienced improved psychosexual functioning.

Conclusions:

  • The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis generally leads to high patient satisfaction and improved sexual function.
  • Dissatisfaction is primarily linked to issues with erection firmness, length, and device operation.
