It was aimed to evaluate the changes in quality of life in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) after inflatable penile prosthesis implantation.
Forty-one patients who underwent to an inflatable penile prosthesis implantation surgery due to ED were included in the study. The age of the patients, the indications for surgery, and the type of prosthesis implanted were recorded. All patients were implanted two-piece inflatable (AMS Ambicor™) or three-piece inflatable (AMS 700™) prostheses. A 36-item short form (SF-36) was used to assess the life quality of patients. The scores obtained from these forms were recorded and used to compare the preoperative and postoperative quality of life of the patients.
The mean age of the patients was 59.9 (38-78) years. The mean follow-up was 25.1 (12-39) months. A three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis was implanted in 11 (26.8%) of the 41 patients and the others were implanted with a two-piece inflatable penile prosthesis. Average SF-36 scores were increased significantly after surgery in all groups.
Inflatable penile prosthesis implantation is one of the most satisfactory treatment methods of ED and our study shows that with this treatment the patients can be provided a significant improvement in life quality.
评估勃起功能障碍（ED）患者接受可充胀式阴茎假体植入术后生活质量的变化。
本研究纳入了 41 例因 ED 而行可充胀式阴茎假体植入术的患者。记录了患者的年龄、手术指征和植入的假体类型。所有患者均植入两件式可充胀（AMS Ambicor™）或三件式可充胀（AMS 700™）假体。采用 36 项简短表格（SF-36）评估患者的生活质量。记录这些表格获得的评分，并用于比较患者术前和术后的生活质量。
患者的平均年龄为 59.9（38-78）岁。平均随访时间为 25.1（12-39）个月。41 例患者中 11 例（26.8%）植入三件式可充胀阴茎假体，其余患者植入两件式可充胀阴茎假体。所有组在手术后的平均 SF-36 评分均显著升高。
可充胀式阴茎假体植入术是 ED 的最满意治疗方法之一，本研究表明，这种治疗方法可以显著提高患者的生活质量。
