Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The evolving landscape of healthcare information dissemination has been dramatically influenced by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) driven chatbots, providing patients with accessible and interactive platforms to obtain knowledge about medical procedures and conditions. Among the various surgical interventions in urology, inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is a common treatment for men with erectile dysfunction. As patients increasingly seek comprehensive resources to understand what this procedure entails, AI-based chat technologies, such as ChatGPT, have become more prominent. This study aimed to assess the capacity of ChatGPT to provide accurate and easily understandable responses to common questions regarding the IPP procedure.
