Clinical, hormonal, Doppler, perioperative, and postoperative data were collected, sexual satisfaction was assessed using the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS), and penile sensory loss was evaluated separately using a single-item binary patient-reported question administered during face-to-face interviews (\u201cDo you currently experience loss of penile sensation?\u201d), reflecting present postoperative perception. Predictors of NSSS were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression, and outcomes between surgical approaches were compared using Mann\u2013Whitney U, Chi-square, or Fisher\u2019s exact tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The primary outcome was postoperative sexual satisfaction (NSSS), and secondary outcomes included penile sensory loss, operative time, hospital stay, Clavien\u2013Dindo complications, and prosthesis malfunction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Penile sensory loss was the only independent predictor of lower NSSS scores (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u221217.72; 95% CI \u221222.13 to \u221213.31; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), while age, BMI, Charlson Comorbidity Index, erectile dysfunction etiology, smoking exposure, complications, and device malfunction were not independently associated with satisfaction (all P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.05).
