Évolution du nombre et du type de prothèses péniennes posées en France pour dysfonction érectile : analyse des données nationales de codage pour la période 2006–2013

Abstract

Patients who are not responding to injectable and/or vacuum oral pharmacological treatments can receive a penile prosthesis. Three types of penile prostheses are used in France: rigid, semi-rigid and inflatable prostheses 3-piece or 2-piece. We have assessed the National surgical insertion practices between 2006and 2013 (number of prostheses insertions, types, procedure locations, number of surgeons and distribution [public or private sectors]). Data analysis from the French Technical Agency of Information on Hospitals (ATIH) (2006-2013) using the common classification of medical acts (CCAM) and after code extractions related to this surgery (JHLA002, JHLA003, JHLA004). Between 2006and 2013, the number of penile implants in France doubled (307to 633), inflatable penile prostheses with an extracavernous component remained the most frequently used (87%) (228to 552) (+142%). The use of semi-rigid prostheses declined by 26.7%. The distribution between the private and public sector was close to 1in 2013. More than half of French penile prostheses were implanted in three regions (Île-de-France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Rhône-Alpes). Nearly 62% of surgeons implanted only one or two three-compartment prostheses in 2013. The number of penile prostheses in France doubled between 2006and 2013. Three regions were particularly active as far as this surgery is concerned (Île-de-France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Rhône-Alpes). They were boosted by 5surgeons with more than 20prostheses surgeries a year. 4.
