Analysis of preoperative and postoperative expectations of penile implant candidates. / Evaluación de las expectativas preoperatorias y postoperatorias del candidato a prótesis peneana. Estudios de satisfacción.

Penile prosthesis implantation is a good option for the treatment of refractory erectile dysfunction. However, the patient's expectations, among other factors, condition his satisfaction after surgery. This review article aims to present the scientific evidence available concerning patient satisfaction with penile prosthesis surgery.

Complex Peyronie's disease cases: surgery with or without penile prosthesis placement. / Casos complejos. Enfermedad de Peyronie: cirugía sin/con implante de prótesis de pene.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Surgery is the treatment of choice for patients with Peyronie's disease presenting difficulty in penetration or erectile dysfunction without adequate response to therapy. Several techniques have been described, and urologists must be aware of their possible complications and sequelae in order to offer the patient the best possible alternative. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three complex cases of patients with Peyronie's disease are presented. The first case exposes a complication after penile plication for the treatment of a major dorsal curve. The second case refers to difficult anal penetration secondary to a problem of erection direction after plaque incision surgery with oral mucosa grafting. The last case is a patient with a late post-operative complication of a three-piece prosthesis placement with plaque incision and equine collagen patch. RESULTS: Surgical options for each case are detailed and discussed. After patients were informed, the decision was taken in a consensual manner. CONCLUSIONS: Surgery for Peyronie's disease requires the urologist's consideration of the functional, aesthetic and psychological spheres. A systematic approach to all of these avoids complications, sequels and improves results.
