Abstract

Since 2016 the penile prosthesis is reimbursed when patients meet indication and quality criteria which are stated in the NVU statement. The Dutch implanters have bundled the data of their first five years of implanting penile prosthesis. Patient satisfaction is higher than previously with 82% and prosthesis use was reported in 86% of the patients. These numbers are higher in the primary group compared to the group with reimplantations. The risk of getting a serious complication is 5.8 and 7.5% respectively. Introducing validated PROMS and intensifying the collaboration with the seksuologists will optimize patient satisfaction and complication risk. Furthermore an optimalisation of national implantation volumes will be necessary.
