Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men who had primary IPP implantation (not replacements) and are able to complete the satisfaction questionnaire.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with device malfunctions, replacement procedures, or who could not complete the questionnaire may not experience the anticipated benefits.

What this trial studies
This observational study examines patient factors associated with successful use of an inflatable penile prosthesis scrotal pump. It focuses on individuals who had IPP implantation and excludes those with device replacement, inability to answer questionnaires, or secondary malfunctions. Data are collected from patients treated at CHU de Nice to identify characteristics linked to satisfactory device use and overall satisfaction. The goal is to help clinicians understand which patients are most likely to benefit from this device option.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could help surgeons better predict which patients will be satisfied with an inflatable penile prosthesis and tailor patient selection.
How similar studies have gone: Prior reports show high satisfaction with inflatable penile prostheses, suggesting potential usefulness of this approach, though the exact predictors of correct scrotal pump use are less well defined.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
All cases included were discussed and approved by a multidisciplinary team. Patients who underwent prosthesis replacement or second implantation were not included. We excluded patients who refused or were not able to answer our questionnaire, patients who provided unreliable answers, and patients that experimented a secondary malfunction of their IP.
