    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Implantable Prosthetics

    Background:

    • Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects a significant patient population.
    • Malleable penile prostheses provide a surgical solution for ED.
    • The American Medical Systems (AMS) device is one such option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of the AMS malleable penile prosthesis.
    • To assess patient satisfaction, cosmetic results, and functional performance.
    • To compare the AMS prosthesis with the Jonas malleable prosthesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 57 patients implanted between 1983-1985.
    • Evaluation of cosmetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and function.
    • Assessment of postoperative complications and concealment ease.

    Main Results:

    • High patient satisfaction reported in 91% of cases.
    • 66% of patients experienced no difficulty with prosthesis concealment.
    • Procedures frequently performed under local anesthesia (51%) and in day surgery (28%).

    Conclusions:

    • The AMS malleable penile prosthesis demonstrates favorable patient satisfaction and concealment.
    • The device is a viable option for ED treatment, with a significant portion of procedures performed in outpatient settings.
    • Further comparison with alternative malleable prostheses like the Jonas device is warranted.
