Clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction rates among elderly male aged ≥75 years with inflatable penile prosthesis implant for medically refractory erectile dysfunction

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction rate between men aged under and over 75 years who underwent inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation. Methods and materials: A retrospective review of clinical database and follow-up independent telephone survey was undertaken in all men who underwent first-time IPP implantation between January 2006 and November 2010. Patient demographics, surgical outcomes, and patient satisfaction rate using Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) scores were recorded. Results: A total of 216 first-time IPP were implanted. Of these, 30 patients were aged ≥75 years. In men aged ≥75 years, 3 patients had IPP revision surgery for mechanical malfunction (average 18.6 months; 12-24 months). While the 2-year Kaplan-Meier estimates of mechanical survival showed better outcome in men aged ≥75 years than men age
