Popis:	Purpose: We analyzed our experience with the Dynaflex* *American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, Minnesota. self-contained inflatable penile prosthesis to define specific complication rates and patient satisfaction in the long term.Materials and Methods: From October 1990 through October 1994, 62 men underwent implantation of a Dynaflex prosthesis. Mean and median time since implantation was 50 and 53 months, respectively (minimum 24). In addition to standard followup and tabulation of complications, patients were contacted and interviewed regarding satisfaction with the prosthesis.Results: Mechanical device failures occurred in 9.7% of cases with a mean time to failure of 40 months in 6 prostheses. An additional 16.1% of patients had an unsuccessful outcome due to dissatisfaction with the Dynaflex. Of the patients with a functional Dynaflex prosthesis contacted at the time of this review 88.1% expressed satisfaction.Conclusions: Mechanical failure rates for the Dynaflex prosthesis are comparable to ...
