Partner Involvement Reduces Postoperative Care Burden Following Penile Prosthesis Placement.

Objective: To determine whether preoperative partner involvement at clinic appointments is associated with deviation from a standardized postoperative care pathway for patients undergoing an inflatable penile prosthesis placement.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 170 patients undergoing primary inflatable penile prosthesis placement performed by a single surgeon between 2017 and 2020.
