One to four years after penile prosthesis surgery, detailed medical and psychosocial interviews were conducted separately with 52 patients and 22 of their partners. Patients tended to be negative or disappointed about postoperative pain, penis size, postoperative sexual frequency, and prosthesis malfunctions. Positive comments emphasized the psychological benefits of renewed masculine self-esteem, repair of humiliation, and reduction of marital guilt. Most patients said they would have the surgery again. Partners corroborated patients' assessments of psychological benefits, but tended to rate the mechanical benefits of the prosthesis somewhat lower. Methodological difficulties in measuring satisfaction with the prosthesis and suggestions for future follow-up research are emphasized in the discussion.
在阴茎假体手术后1至4年，分别对52名患者及其22名伴侣进行了详细的医学和心理社会访谈。患者往往对术后疼痛、阴茎大小、术后性行为频率和假体故障持负面或失望态度。积极的评价强调了恢复男性自尊、修复屈辱感和减轻婚姻内疚感所带来的心理益处。大多数患者表示他们会再次接受手术。伴侣们证实了患者对心理益处的评估，但对假体的机械益处评价略低。讨论中强调了测量对假体满意度方面的方法学困难以及对未来随访研究的建议。
