Satisfaction rate at 1-year follow-up in patients treated with penile implants: data from the multicentre prospective registry INSIST-ED.

Objectives: To investigate scores and predictors of patient satisfaction at 1 year after penile prosthesis implantation (PPI) using the validated Quality of Life and Sexuality with Penile Prosthesis (QoLSPP) questionnaire.

Patients And Methods: Analyses were performed for 142 patients prospectively included in the national multicentre registry Italian Nationwide Systematic Inventarization of Surgical Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (INSIST-ED), which provided 1-year follow-up data. Postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed using the validated QoLSPP tool.

INSIST-ED: Italian Society of Andrology registry on penile prosthesis surgery. First data analysis.

Objectives: The Italian Society of Andrology, i.e. "Società Italiana di Andrologia" (S.

Use of a Non-cross-linked Xenograft (Xenform) in Surgical Treatment of Peyronie's Disease.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness in Peyronie's disease surgical treatment using Xenform, a non-cross-linked graft derived from dermal bovine tissue, to close the defect obtained after plaque incision, without penile prosthesis implant. A further objective is to evaluate the satisfaction of patients.

Materials And Methods: We treated with plaque incision 28 patients with a stable penile curvature ≥60° hindering penetration and with erectile function conserved.

Pseudo-capsule "coffin effect": how to prevent penile retraction after implant of three-piece inflatable prosthesis.

Objective: Following three-component implantation of a penile prosthesis, some patients are dissatisfied with their penile length. This may be due to the procedure by itself or pre-existing risk factors or psychological reasons. We supposed that formation of a restricted pseudo-capsule due to a late prosthesis activation can inhibit later system expansion.

A questionnaire for the evaluation of quality of life after penile prosthesis implant: quality of life and sexuality with penile prosthesis (QoLSPP): to what extent does the implant affect the patient's life?

Introduction: Penile prosthesis implantation is considered to be a satisfactory treatment for erectile dysfunction. Previous studies have assessed mainly prosthesis function and perioperative complications and have measured satisfaction only with regard to sexual performance. Very little, if anything, has been reported on the most relevant question: To what extent does the implant affect the patient's life?

Aim: To develop and validate the pathology-specific Quality of Life and Sexuality with Penile Prosthesis (QoLSPP) questionnaire, which evaluates patients' quality of life after penile prosthesis implantation.
