    TITLE: COMPARISON OF PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES AFTER PENILE PROSTHESIS PLACEMENT IN MEN WITH AND WITHOUT PEYRONIE'S DISEASE. WE EVALUATED OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PENILE PROTHESIS (PP) IMPLANTATION FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED) AND CONCURRENT PEYRONIE¿S DISEASE (PD). A CLINICIAN-DEVELOPED SURVEY TO ASSESS SATISFACTION WAS SENT TO 354 PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT PP PLACEMENT FROM 2012¿2018 BY A SINGLE-SURGEON. RESULTS WERE COMPARED BASED ON THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF CONCURRENT PD. 79 PATIENTS COMPLETED THE SURVEY (RESPONSE RATE 22%), INCLUDING 38 PATIENTS (48%) WITH CONCURRENT ED AND PD (ED/PD). MEAN FOLLOW-UP WAS 31 MONTHS (STANDARD DEVIATION 19). 87% FELT THEIR CONDITION WAS ¿VERY MUCH¿ OR ¿MUCH¿ IMPROVED. THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN PATIENT-REPORTED OVERALL SATISFACTION WITH THEIR PP OR SATISFACTION WITH CURRENT PENILE LENGTH/GIRTH BASED ON THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF PD. 87% OF PATIENTS WITH PD WERE SATISFIED WITH THEIR DEGREE OF PENILE STRAIGHTENING AFTER PP PLUS OR MINUS CONCURRENT STRAIGHTENING MANEUVERS SUCH AS MODELING, PLICATION, OR INCISION/GRAFTING. SUB-GROUP ANALYSES WERE PERFORMED TO EVALUATE OUTCOMES IN THOSE WITH CONCURRENT PD/ED WHO REQUIRED PLAQUE INCI

    ACCORDING TO AVAILABLE INFORMATION, AN ABSTRACT TITLED, "WHICH PATIENT MAY BENEFIT THE MOST FROM PENILE PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION?" WAS PUBLISHED IN 2022. STUDY RESULTS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE BROKEN DOWN BY PRODUCT NAME, AND SINCE THIS STUDY WAS FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM COLOPLAST AND FROM ANOTHER DEVICE MANUFACTURER, IT SEEMS THAT PRODUCTS FROM BOTH COMPANIES ARE REPRESENTED IN THIS STUDY POPULATION. POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDY POPULATION, WHO WERE IMPLANTED BETWEEN DECEMBER 2014 AND NOVEMBER 2017, INCLUDED PAIN (1.1%), WOUND INFECTION (1.8%), PENOSCROTAL HEMATOMA (3.4%), FEVER (0.7%), MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (0.4%), LOCAL ALLERGIC RUSH (0.4%), URINARY RETENTION (0.4%), DISPLACEMENT OF THE RESERVOIR (0.8%), CYLINDER EXTRUSION (0.4%), SCROTAL EXTRUSION (0.8%), URETHRAL LESION (0.4%), AND GLANS NECROSIS (0.4%). THE STUDY CONCLUDED THAT PENILE PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN OVERALL GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE. THE SUBSET OF PATIENTS AFFECTED BY ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION SECONDARY TO PEYRONIE¿S DISEASE SEEMED TO BENEFIT THE MOST FROM PENILE PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES, RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARTNERS AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD, AND PERCEIVED SELF-IMAGE.
