Use of oral phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors before penile prosthesis implantation: duration, predictors, and clinical insights
The average duration of PDE5i use prior to PP surgery was approximately three years. Lower testosterone levels may predict earlier surgical intervention, whereas comorbidities did not show a significant association. These findings may assist clinicians in counseling patients and planning treatment strategies.
