Abstract EN
Objective : To evaluate the outcome of penile prosthesis implantation.
Setting : Salmaniya Medical Complex, urology unit.
Design : Retrospective study.
Method : The data of Patients who underwent penile prosthesis implantation for the treatment of erectile dysfunction from 10 / 01 / 2003 to 01 / 01 / 2008 were reviewed.
The patients were operated by a single surgeon using the same technique.
Result: Fifty-three patients underwent penile prosthesis implantation surgery for ED.
The mean age was 56 (ranged between 27-81 years).
The implanted prosthesis is manufactured by the American Medical Systems.
Thirty-three patients had AMS 650 Malleable penile prosthesis and 20 patients had AMS Ambicor inflatable penile prosthesis.
The most common complication was superficial wound infection in 3 patients, erosion in 2 patients and urinary retention in one patient.
Forty-seven patients (88 %) were satisfied with the outcome, more with inflatable devises.
The dissatisfaction was mainly due to cosmetic factors, high expectations and glans penis flaccidity.
Conclusion : Penile prosthesis surgery is a safe and effective treatment for patients with erectile dysfunction in whom medical treatment had failed.
It has a high patient satisfaction rate.
