The standard Mentor inflatable prosthesis offers high patient satisfaction (87-99%) and proven reliability. A new Mentor GFS prosthesis shows promise as an alternative for specific patient groups.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • The Mentor inflatable prosthesis is a well-established device for penile implants.
  • Assessing the reliability and patient satisfaction of penile prostheses is crucial for treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability and patient satisfaction of the standard Mentor inflatable prosthesis.
  • To assess the short-term outcomes of the new Mentor GFS prosthesis.
  • To provide a benchmark for comparing new penile prosthesis designs.

Main Methods:

  • The study reviews data on the standard Mentor inflatable prosthesis.
  • It also presents short-term results for the new Mentor GFS prosthesis.

Main Results:

  • The standard Mentor inflatable prosthesis demonstrates high patient satisfaction, ranging from 87% to 99%.

  • Its long-term reliability and functional characteristics are well-documented.
  • The new Mentor GFS prosthesis shows encouraging short-term results.

    • Conclusions:

    • The standard Mentor inflatable prosthesis is a reliable option with high patient satisfaction.
    • The new Mentor GFS prosthesis presents a viable alternative, particularly for surgeons preferring a penoscrotal incision in patients with normal-sized genitalia.
