Objective

Introduction: One of the most common complains after malleable prothesis implantation(MPI) is thinning of the penis and decreasing girth. Some surgeons try to insert the largest diameter they can to improve patient satisfaction Objectives: To investigate if malleable rod diameter (MRD) has an impact on outcome and patient satisfaction

Methods

Consecutive MPI were assessed in high volume center over a one-year period. Same preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative protocols were used for all patients and one brand of malleable devices was used. We recorded MRD and length for all patients. All patients had data on comorbidities including glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and clinical Peyronie’s disease (PD).Re-do patients and those who lost for follow up were excluded from the study. We also excluded patients operated on by low volume surgeons. After 1-year patients were assessed and given a Likert scale from 1-5 where 5 is most satisfied about their MPI. We stratified patients according to MRD into two groups: group A for diameter 9.5 and 11 mm and group B for 13 mm. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical test: Chi-square and statistical software: Stata Release 13
