    Surgical implantation of inflatable penile prostheses effectively treated erectile impotence in 93 men, achieving 93% long-term functional success. While 29% experienced complications requiring further surgery, the overall outcome demonstrates a high success rate for this erectile dysfunction treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Andrology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Erectile impotence significantly impacts quality of life.
    • Surgical intervention is a treatment option for refractory erectile dysfunction.
    • Penile prosthesis implantation offers a solution for men unresponsive to other therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term functional success and complication rates of inflatable penile prostheses.
    • To assess the efficacy of surgical treatment for erectile impotence.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 93 men treated with inflatable penile prostheses.
    • Follow-up duration ranged from 6 months to 4 years.
    • Data collection on functional outcomes and secondary operations.

    Main Results:

    • A high success rate of 93% (87 out of 93 patients) was achieved.
    • Long-term functional success was observed in the majority of patients.
    • Complications necessitating secondary operations occurred in 29% (27 out of 93 patients).

    Conclusions:

    • Inflatable penile prosthesis implantation is a highly effective treatment for erectile impotence.
    • The procedure offers durable functional success for most patients.
    • Careful patient selection and management are important to minimize complications.
