Patient Expectations Articles

Penile prosthesis implantation is a good option for the treatment of refractory erectile dysfunction. However, the patient's expectations, among other factors, condition his satisfaction after surgery.

To date, several aspects of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgical procedure have been poorly studied.

The aim of this study was to review the evidence associated with IPP implantation and provide clinical recommendations on behalf of the European Society for Sexual Medicine (ESSM).

In order to help physicians determine which drugs are the best for treating overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, this review considered three questions: what are the patient's expectations? What information is generated by the Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) model? What can physicians expect from medical treatments?

A comprehensive literature search was undertaken on these three topics in order to assist physicians regarding the optimum treatment modality for OAB.
