    The new Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis offers excellent function for organic impotence. This device shows improved durability, with good patient acceptance and fewer reoperations compared to older models.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Andrology

    Background:

    • Organic impotence significantly impacts quality of life.
    • Existing inflatable penile prostheses have limitations, including frequent technical complications and revisions.
    • A novel hydraulic penile prosthesis was developed to address these issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical experience with the new Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis.
    • To assess the functional outcomes, technical complications, and patient acceptance of this new device.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 116 patients treated with the Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis.
    • Data collection focused on device performance, reoperation rates, and patient satisfaction.

    Main Results:

    • The Mentor prosthesis demonstrated excellent functional qualities in 116 patients.
    • No instances of connector separations, aneurysms, or ruptures were observed.
    • Reoperation rates were 10.5%, with good cosmetic and functional outcomes reported.
    • Patient acceptance of the new device was excellent.

    Conclusions:

    • The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis is a safe and effective treatment option for organic impotence.
    • This new hydraulic device offers improved reliability and patient satisfaction compared to previous models.
    • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and comparisons with other treatment modalities.
