Post penile implant sexual satisfaction in elderly patients is a multifactorial issue. In the present study, we investigated the possible implication of age on satisfaction after malleable penile implant surgery in elderly patients. We compared post-operative sexual satisfaction in the elderly with that of a younger age group (reference group). Patients were classified into three groups according to their ages (group I <45, group II between 45 and 65, and group III older than 65 years old). Modified Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) questionnaire was used at 3, 6 and 12 months after implant surgery. EDITS scores showed statistically significant high satisfaction rates in all age groups. EDITS scores were higher in the early post-operative period in younger groups compared to elderly patients. However, the difference between groups was insignificant at 12 months post-operatively (p value = .06). Our results show that elderly patients have a high post-operative satisfaction rate close to that of younger age groups, and they are suitable candidates for penile implant surgery with good and realistic post-operative sexual satisfaction expectations.
