To address these shortcomings and to increase current knowledge regarding postoperative adjustment, we completed a prospective, longitudinal study of 19 implant recipients and their partners. Our results suggest that most patients and partners were satisfied with the prosthesis 1 year postoperatively, although use of the prosthesis sometimes was accompanied by short-term complications. Satisfaction tended to be lower among spouses than patients. Frequency of sexual intercourse increased during the followup period but there were no changes in sexual desire. Neither marital nor psychological adjustment changed significantly during this period. (J.
