Long-term patient-reported satisfaction with different inflatable penile prosthesis: Comparison between AMS 700CX and Coloplast Titan.

INTRODUCTION

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most prevalent male sexual disorders worldwide. When conservative treatment is unsuccessful, contraindicated or causes unacceptable side effects penile prosthesis implantation is a definitive option for the management of ED. Although considered a third-line therapy, it achieves the highest satisfaction rates as compared with non-surgical treatment. Three-piece inflatable penile prothesis (IPP) represents the most sophisticated implantable device, AMS 700CX™ and Coloplast Titan being the two most commonly used. Although there are several studies evaluating patient satisfaction with either model, there is little published data comparing both models.

METHODS

We have compared overall patient satisfaction in 55 patients submitted to either 700CX™ or Titan implantation. The Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) questionnaire was used to access patient satisfaction.

RESULTS

Patient mean age and follow-up time were 59.1 years and 57.9 months respectively. There was no difference in EDITS score between 700CX™ and Titan IPP (77.2±12.1 versus 77.5±16.6 respectively, p=0.956).

CONCLUSION

Overall patient satisfaction as assessed by EDITS questionnaire was not different between 700CX™ and Titan.
