For patients with AMS Ambicore, these percentages were 73.91% (n=17), 13.04% (n=3) and 13.04% (n=3), respectively. These overall satisfaction rates were significantly different between patients with AMS 600-650 and Ambicore (p=0.013). For patients with AMS 600-650, the percentages of patients who reported to be very likely, neither likely nor unlikely, or very unlikely to continue using their prosthesis were 30.43% (n=7), 34.78% (n=8), and 34.78% (n=8) while for patients with AMS Ambicore, these percentages were 65.21%, 21.33%, and 13.04%, respectively. These percentages were different between patients with AMS 600-650 and Ambicore (p=0.018).Conclusion: The two-piece inflatable penile prosthesis was found to be more successful in overall satisfaction and more likely for continued use when compared to the malleable penile prosthesis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessImplantationExperienceSafetyEfficacyOutcomesErectile dysfunctionPatient satisfactionPenile prosthesesUrology & nephrologyArticle00042058900000320721040410.5152/tud.2014.37108
