French language validation of the SSIPI questionnaire assessing the satisfaction of patients with penile implant

Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study was to propose a French version of the satisfaction survey for inflatable penile implant (SSIPI) questionnaire.

Material: Questionnaire validation was performed in three steps: translation into French by two urologists, its validation by the committee of andrologist and sexual medicine (CAMS) and an independent translation in English by another urologist to exclude any distortion with the original version. Furthermore, the questionnaire was tested in few patients having penile implant.

Results: The andrology committee approved the French version of the questionnaire. The final version of the questionnaire was successfully tested on all patients. Every patient (n=10) confirmed the good comprehension and pertinence of the questions, and the easy response selection.

Conclusion: This French version of the SSIPI questionnaire will allow French-speaking urologists to assess the satisfaction of their patients with a penile implant on a large scale.

Level of evidence: IV.
