Context: Data supporting successful and satisfactory penile prosthesis (PP) implantation outcomes are mainly based on subjective, rather than objective, analysis. Objective: To systematically review and objectively analyze, all available data related to patient and partner PP satisfaction. Evidence acquisition: An extensive search was performed, including the following key-words: (“penile prosthesis” and “satisfaction”). The search, which accrued data from January 1, 1969, up to July 31, 2023, was restricted to English-language articles including human participants. Evidence synthesis: Out of 663 retrieved articles, 83 were considered including, 12,132 subjects with a mean age and mean follow-up of 58.6 [range 20; 77.1] years and 47.6 [range 6; 374] months, respectively. Overall, a high patient satisfaction rate was observed 83[80; 86]%. The satisfaction rate increased in subjects with three-piece PP and in those with a higher rate of cardiovascular or neurological diseases and was independent of the patient's age. Partner's satisfaction rate was lower when compared to that observed in men and it increased according to the use of inflatable devices and the presence of patient Peyronie's disease. The long-term complication rate was limited ranging from 3% for erosion to 4.6% when mechanical failure was considered. Conclusions: Patient and partner satisfaction is excellent and increases with time. The number of complications is limited and is strongly associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus. Patient summary: We found a high couple satisfaction score that was higher when reported by males compared to females. Patient satisfaction increased with time, and it was independent of age.

Abstract
Context: Data supporting successful and satisfactory penile prosthesis (PP) implantation outcomes are mainly based on subjective, rather than objective, analysis. Objective: To systematically review and objectively analyze, all available data related to patient and partner PP satisfaction. Evidence acquisition: An extensive search was performed, including the following key-words: (“penile prosthesis” and “satisfaction”). The search, which accrued data from January 1, 1969, up to July 31, 2023, was restricted to English-language articles including human participants. Evidence synthesis: Out of 663 retrieved articles, 83 were considered including, 12,132 subjects with a mean age and mean follow-up of 58.6 [range 20; 77.1] years and 47.6 [range 6; 374] months, respectively. Overall, a high patient satisfaction rate was observed 83[80; 86]%. The satisfaction rate increased in subjects with three-piece PP and in those with a higher rate of cardiovascular or neurological diseases and was independent of the patient's age. Partner's satisfaction rate was lower when compared to that observed in men and it increased according to the use of inflatable devices and the presence of patient Peyronie's disease. The long-term complication rate was limited ranging from 3% for erosion to 4.6% when mechanical failure was considered. Conclusions: Patient and partner satisfaction is excellent and increases with time. The number of complications is limited and is strongly associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus. Patient summary: We found a high couple satisfaction score that was higher when reported by males compared to females. Patient satisfaction increased with time, and it was independent of age.Pubblicazioni consigliate
