Abstract
To evaluate the satisfaction level of patients and partners after implantation of a Mentor Alpha-1 inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). A questionnaire was sent to 46 patients who had been operated on for ED with implantation of a Mentor Alpha-1 IPP. The investigation was designed to evaluate patient and partner satisfaction. Eighty-five percent of the questionnaires were returned. Sexual desire had not changed but the quality of sexual activity had significantly improved. Acceptance by the partner was good. Overall satisfaction among both patients and partners was high. In total, 95% of patients said that they would recommend the procedure to other patients in the same situation. Patient and partner satisfaction with the Mentor Alpha-1 IPP was high, with the exception of the minority of patients who experienced unacceptable complications. Infection and mechanical failure are important risks which patients should be informed of before agreeing to implantation surgery.
