The primary objective was to determine the frequency of use of the IPP and determine its correlation with QOL outcomes and time from surgery. METHODS: Patients undergoing an IPP from a single institution (years 2000 – 2019) were mailed a survey questionnaire consisting of the International Index of Erectile Function and the Quality of Life and Sexuality with Penile Prosthesis Questionnaire (QoLSPP). Exclusion criteria included device removal, non-functional device, malleable prosthesis, deceased status, and missing/incorrect address. Additional demographic data, comorbidities, operative details, follow-up, and complications were obtained by chart review. RESULTS: Surveys were mailed to 618 patients with 158 responses (25.6%). The average time from surgery to survey completion was 6.8 years (range 0.9 – 21). About 9% of patients reported no sexual activity (SA), while 32% reported SA more than 6 times a month. The median QoLSPP total was 58 (IQR 38 – 69). Overall, 65% of patients wished to increase the frequency of SA; common limitations include partner factors (51%) and device factors (30%). A strong association was not identified between frequency of SA and time from surgery (p <0.2). However, when analyzing the correlation between frequency of SA and the QoLSPP utilizing the Kruskal-Wallis test, there was a significant positive correlation seen in both total scores (p <0.0001) and individual domains (p <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: A large majority of the cohort continue to engage in sexual activity irrespective of time from surgery. In addition, patient’s quality of life in all domains – functional, relational, social and personal – were found to be strongly correlated with the frequency of sexual activity.
