SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Penile Implant Satisfaction
in a Military Population; OMB control number 0720-PISM.
Needs and Uses: Inflatable Penile Prostheses (IPPs) are common
procedures worldwide with over 53,000 American men aged >=65 years-old
undergoing penile implant surgery over a 9-year period. Despite the
prevalence of these surgeries, the data on patient satisfaction has
been limited. For example, Akakpo et al. (2017) evaluated almost 50
articles on patient satisfaction with penile implants from 2006-2016.
44% of the articles used questionnaires that were not intended for nor
validated in IPP patients, while the remaining articles used
proprietary, non-validated questionnaires.
These earlier IPP outcome assessments are problematic. The use of
different instruments makes it difficult to compare results between
studies. Thus, it is unsurprising that the satisfaction results vary
widely. For example, one study found that 91% of IPP patients were
`very satisfied' whereas another study showed only 69% of men were
satisfied with their IPP. This demonstrates the importance of a
standardized IPP satisfaction questionnaire.
Recently, the first English-validated IPP satisfaction
questionnaire- the Satisfaction Survey for Inflatable Penile Implant
(SSIPI) was developed. This 16-item questionnaire assesses overall
satisfaction, pain, function and appearance in men with IPPs. With the
advent of SSIPI, it is vital that we use this novel instrument to
accurately access IPP satisfaction in a military population.
The authority that authorizes this collection is: Sec. 876.3350, 5
CFR 1320.5(d)(2), Title 10, Title 20, Title 42, American Urological
Association, America Board of Urology, and the Sexual Medicine Society
of North America.
The respondents are adult men with inflatable penile implants who
are

patients at Madigan Army Medical Center. They are responding to this
information collection as it will be part of their postoperative
medical follow-ups. The survey will be given via Qualtrics, a web-based
secure survey platform. Patients will access this via a QR code and
answer the questions on their smartphones. They will complete the
questions at the time of their medical follow-ups. This is returned
electronically when they submit the survey.
