    The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis shows a low mechanical failure rate in a study of 46 patients. This suggests it is a reliable option compared to semirigid devices.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Penile prostheses are used to treat erectile dysfunction.
    • Inflatable devices offer an alternative to semirigid prostheses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of the Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis.
    • To assess the mechanical reliability and reoperation rates.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 46 patients who received the Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis.
    • Follow-up averaged 21 months, with a minimum of 6 months.

    Main Results:

    • No mechanical failures were reported in any of the 46 devices implanted.
    • Six patients (13%) required reoperation due to technical issues.

  • The average follow-up was 21 months.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis demonstrates a low mechanical failure rate.
    • Technical issues requiring reoperation are infrequent.
    • This device presents a reliable option for penile prosthesis implantation.
