ABSTRACT
Introduction: Penile prostheses are devices that are surgically implanted. They generate penile rigidity
through a non-pharmacological mechanical system. This type of prosthesis was implanted for the first
time in Cuba 33 years ago in the "Hermanos Ameijeiras" Surgical Clinical Hospital to treat erectile sexual
dysfunction.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of malleable penile prosthesis´ implantation in patients with
erectile dysfunction.
Methods: An observational descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study was conducted in 96
patients with erectile dysfunction, which were implanted with a malleable penile prosthesis. All were seen
in the "Dr. Salvador Allende" Teaching Surgical-Clinical Hospital between 2012 and 2017. For the study,
there were taken into account the complications, the quality of penetration, sensitivity and the degree of
satisfaction during sexual activity, both in the patients as well as in their partners.
Results: Diabetes mellitus was the cause of the erectile dysfunction in 40.6% of the cases. After the
implant, the 80.2% achieved the penetration without difficulty. The sensitivity showed no changes in 56.3
%, while 87.5% of patients and 91.7% of the partners were satisfied with the procedure. There were
complications observed in 18.8 % of the patients.
Conclusions: This implant was effective and safe in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It provided an
adequate quality of the penetration in a high percentage of patients; it improved the sensitivity in half of
them, while the majority was satisfied with the procedure.
