“…Communication regarding the rationale for leaving a catheter or other drain can alleviate the frustration but should not replace the need for preoperative counseling. Ultimately, patients need to be informed that postoperative urinary retention can occur in up to 25% of men, and temporary catheterization may be necessary ( 39 ). On rare occasions, patients develop full blown urinary retention after PP.…”

Background and Objective Treatment for medication-refractory erectile dysfunction (ED) is based on a shared decision-making model. The gold standard treatment for medication refractory ED is penile prosthesis (PP) placement. Patient satisfaction rates with PP are high with adequate counseling and expectation-setting. However, as with any elective surgery, patient selection is key to minimizing complications and ultimately patient dissatisfaction. Psychological well-being is an important consideration in the preoperative evaluation and postoperative management of patients undergoing PP placement. Methods We performed a PubMed literature review to identify pertinent studies for this narrative review. Specifically, we sought describe preoperative evaluation including appropriate counseling and patient selection as well relevant intraoperative and postoperative factors for patients undergoing PP placement with a specific focus on optimizing preoperative psychiatric factors and treatment-related patient satisfaction to identify pertinent articles describing ways to optimize patient satisfaction with PP. Key Content and Findings A patient’s psychological state can influence the degree of understanding of their condition, affect perception of their treatment team, and limit their ability to cope with complications. All patients should undergo a thorough medical history and physical examination to screen for psychiatric health disorders, substance abuse, and chronic pain conditions. Establishing patient expectations with regards to treatment-related outcomes during the preoperative consultation will ensure congruency between the patient and performing surgeon. Patients with a more significant psychiatric distress related to their underlying sexual dysfunction may require additional evaluation and counseling preoperatively. Conclusions PP placement is associated with high levels of overall satisfaction in appropriately screened patients. Specific considerations during preoperative counseling and careful patient selection, intraoperative decision making to avoid or anticipate possible complications, and postoperative cares are necessary to ensure the best result for an individual patient.
