Penil protez implantasyonu yapılan hastalarda memnuniyet değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Erektil disfonksiyon nedeniyle penil protez implantasyonu yapılan hastaların tedaviden memnuniyetlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ekim 2006-Ağustos 2012 tarihleri arasında erektil disfonksiyon nedeniyle penil protez implantasyonu yapılan hastalar 6 sorudan oluşan ve cevapları 1-5 arasında skorlanan 1: Son derece memnuniyetsiz-5: Son derece memnun Male Sexual Health Questionnaire MSHQ anketinin memnuniyet skalası ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Penil protez implantasyonu yapılan 33 Hastadan 22 si çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 55,6±10,9 35-71 yıldı. MSHQ anketinden elde edilen toplam skorun ortanca 23 8-28 olduğu saptandı. MSHQ anketinin soruları ve her bir soru için aynı olan cevap örneği tablo 1 ve 2 de gösterilmiştir. Cevaplarında her bir sorudan en az birinde “son derece memnuniyetsiz”, “kısmen memnun değil” yanıtı veren hasta sayısının sırasıyla 3 ve 4 olduğu; 14 hastanın en az bir soruya “son derece memnun” yanıtını verdiği gözlendi. Hastaların hiç birinde cerrahi komplikasyon ve tedavi başarısızlığı gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Penil protez implantasyonunun cerrahi başarısı yüksek olmakla birlikte hastaların hepsi tedavi sonrası aynı memnuniyete sahip değildir.
