The validated questionnaire Quality of Life and Sexuality with Penile Prosthesis (QoLSPP) was used to assess patient QoL.

The etiology of ED was vasculogenic (n\u00a0= 20; 39%), Peyronie\u2019s disease (n\u00a0= 15; 29%), pelvic surgery (n\u00a0= 4; 7.8%), organic other than vasculogenic (n\u00a0= 3; 5.9%), or other (n\u00a0= 9; 18%). Throughout the follow-up, 24 patients (49%) experienced complications: mechanical failure (n\u00a0= 19; 79%), pain (n\u00a0= 3; 12%), orgasmic dysfunctions (n\u00a0= 1; 4.5%), or device infection (n\u00a0= 1; 4.5%). The estimated IPP survival was 53% (95% CI, 36\u201367) at 20-year follow-up. Baseline characteristics (age, Charlson comorbidity index, body mass index, and erectile dysfunction etiology) were not significantly associated with the risk of IPP failure over time by Cox regression analysis. At 20-year follow-up, 41% (95% CI, 19\u201349) of the patients were still using the device. Among them, QoLSPP median domain scores were high: functional 22\/25 (IQR, 20\u201323), relational 17\/20 (IQR, 15\u201318), personal 14\/15 (IQR, 12\u201315), and social 14\/15 (IQR, 11\u201315).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The longevity of the device and long-term satisfaction rates should be comprehensively discussed during patient consultation for IPP surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Strengths &amp; Limitations<\/jats:title><jats:p>To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting long-term QoL outcomes using a dedicated questionnaire for penile prostheses.
