Patient and partner satisfaction after penile prosthesis (PP) implantation is high, but most studies use unvalidated tools. Future research should develop a specific questionnaire for PP satisfaction assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Sexual Medicine
  • Medical Device Research

Background:

  • Penile prosthesis (PP) implantation is frequently associated with high patient and partner satisfaction rates, often exceeding 90% in reported studies.
  • Despite high reported satisfaction, the methodologies for assessing this satisfaction have not been consistently validated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review and discuss the existing evidence on assessing patient and partner satisfaction following penile implant surgery.
  • To identify and evaluate the tools used for measuring satisfaction after penile prosthesis implantation.

Main Methods:

  • A critical narrative review was conducted, including English-language studies published up to January 2021.
  • The review focused on studies investigating patient and partner satisfaction after penile prosthesis implantation.

Main Results:

  • Several validated tools exist for satisfaction assessment, including the International Index of Erectile Function and the Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction, though not all are specific to penile implant surgery.
  • A significant limitation identified is the widespread use of non-validated or suboptimal questionnaires, highlighting a lack of an "ad hoc" tool for this specific patient population.
  • Various psychological and counseling tools can aid in preimplantation assessment.

Conclusions:

  • While patient and partner satisfaction after penile prosthesis surgery is generally high, the assessment methods are often suboptimal.
  • There is a critical need for the development and validation of a specific, comprehensive, and user-friendly questionnaire to accurately measure satisfaction in patients undergoing penile implant surgery.
