| Popis: | Introduction Managing and understanding expectations of patients prior to inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery is a critical. Clinicians vary in the way they explain the operation, and patients have varied expectations prior to surgery. Aims The goal is to understand the role that preoperative counseling and patients' realistic understanding of IPP surgery play in determining postoperative satisfaction. Methods 21 Patients underwent IPP surgery, and received a preoperative expectations survey, then, 4 months later, gave a single score of 1–100 (1 is very dissatisfied, 100 is extremely satisfied). Main Outcome Measures The results were correlated with an R 2 value and visualized on a scatter plot. This significance is tested using a two-tailed test. Results Lower preoperative expectations scores correlated almost linearly with higher satisfaction scores after surgery. The R (Pearson) value was −0.489, with an R 2 of 0.239. This was significant using a two-tailed test, with a P value of 0.0245. Conclusion Giving patients an accurate description of the procedure and setting realistic expectations leads to higher postoperative satisfaction. Kramer AC, and Schweber A.
