Abstract Background Penile prothesis (PP) is the gold-standard treatment of drug-refractory erectile dysfunction (ED). While postoperative outcomes have been widely described in the literature, there are few data about patient satisfaction and intraoperative events. We aimed to assess long-term patient satisfaction and perioperative outcomes after PP implantation in a single-centre cohort of unselected patients using validated scales. Results A total of 130 patients received a PP (median age: 62.5 years [IQR: 58–69]; median International Index of Erectile Function (IEEF-5) score: 6 [IQR: 5–7]). Median follow-up was 6.3 years [IQR: 4–9.4]. Thirty-two (24.6%) patients underwent surgical revision, of which 20 were PP removals (15.4%). Global PP survival rate was 84.6% and previous PP placement was a risk factor for PP removal (p = 0.02). There were six (4.6%) non-life-threatening intraoperative events including two which resulted in non-placement of a PP (1.5%). EAUiaic grade was 0 for 124 procedures (95.4%), 1 for four procedures (3.1%) and 2 for two procedures (1.5%). Of patients who still had their PP at the end of the study, 91 (80.5%) expressed satisfaction. Conclusions PP implantation is a last-resort treatment for ED with a satisfactory outcome. PPs are well accepted by patients.

Buried Penis

Introduction: We present a case report on six patients who underwent a combined approach to improve the cosmetic appearance and functional performance of their buried penis. Aim: To report our combined approach to improve both buried penis and erectile dysfunction. Methods: In one surgery, we performed: a malleable penile prosthesis, ventral phalloplasty, and penile suspensory ligament release followed by a suprapubic lipectomy. Results: Postoperatively, all patients had an increase in penile length and were able to achieve successful penetrative intercourse. The average difference between the pre-operational and post-operational flaccid length of our six patients was 3.5 cm ± 1.38 (range, 1.9 to 5.08 cm). Conclusion: This case series serves as successful examples of using a combined approach in one stage to not only improve the cosmetic appearance of a buried penis but also address erectile dysfunction.

This chapter begins by covering the physiology of erections and ejaculation. It provides ways of evaluating erectile dysfunction and then surgical interventions, including vascular surgery and penile prosthesis. Finally, surgical treatment for Peyronie’s disease is covered.
