Correspondence to: Dr. Dominic Grimberg. Division of Urology, Duke University Medical Center, Room 1573, White Zone, Durham, NC, 27710, USA. Email: [email protected]. Background: Alternative reservoir placement is increasingly popular during inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery to prevent intraperitoneal positioning, bowel, bladder, or vascular injury in patients with prior pelvic surgeries. Counter incision (CI) can be used for submuscular reservoir placement in high risk patients, however series exploring the safety remain limited. Methods: A database of IPP surgeries was queried for use of a CI during reservoir placement to compare 90-day clinical outcomes in a retrospective case-control study. Primary outcome was device infections, with secondary outcomes including reservoir herniation, hematoma, device malfunction rates, and operative times. Groups were compared using Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-Squared tests, with multivariate logistic regression models to identify predictors of infectious complications.

ED is a type of sexual dysfunction where a man cannot get or maintain an erection adequate for sexual intercourse. It can occur due to a variety of different conditions and is commonly associated with diabetes, heart disease, Peyronie’s Disease or surgery/radiation to the pelvic region. ED can be distressful for both the member and his partner.

Department of Urology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Lebanese University, Beirut, Lebanon. Tel: +9611851040; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Penile amputation is an uncommon genital injury, the causes of penile trauma are varied; it can be iatrogenic or caused by traffic accidents, burns, circumcision, animal bites, gunshots or self‐mutilation. The type and extent of penile trauma vary from mild to severe injuries, sometimes even with total amputation. A wide variety of surgical options exist for penile reconstruction. Often, not only the surgical but also psychological aspects of treatment will determine the success or failure of therapy. Regardless of the method of reconstruction, the goals of surgery remain the same; these include creating a func- tional and esthetic phallus. We present a case of 49-year-old male diabetic presented for penile reconstruction after iatro- genic skin shaft sub-amputation post penile implant surgery complications done 1 year ago in a country where technical experts for this surgery are absent.

  • Penile Length and Its Preservation in Men After Radical Prostatectomy
    Current Sexual Health Reports (2019) 11:389–398 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11930-019-00226-7 MALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND DISORDERS (A PASTUSZAK AND N THIRUMAVALAVAN, SECTION EDITORS) Penile Length and Its Preservation in Men After Radical Prostatectomy Lillian Y. Lai1 & Alan W. Shindel1 Published online: 31 October 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose of Review Penile changes (most prominently shortening) after radical prostatectomy (RP) can negatively influence body image and quality of life. Here, we review the relevance of penile length to sexual satisfaction, the etiology of penile shortening after RP, and interventions that may preserve penile length. Recent Findings Most studies measure flaccid stretched penile length from the penopubic skin junction to the glans tip; however, the technique reportedly underestimates erect length by 23%. There is evidence that oral pharmacotherapy and mechanical devices may provide some benefit for length preservation, but the evidence basis remains marginal. Surgical augmentation in the setting of penile shortening may be efficacious but carries risks including potential for failure and/or worsening deformity. Summary Penile length loss (perceived or objective) can have a major impact on quality of life after radical prostatectomy. Additional research is required to understand optimal means to help men preserve penile length after RP. Keywords Penile shortening . Radical prostatectomy . Penile length . Erectile function .

  • The Road to Becoming a Bionic Male: Answers to Questions, Concerns, and Hopes
    Penile Implant Information Pamphlet Wiki. What you need to know. A compilation of my answers and experience to FAQ regarding patient satisfaction and partner satisfaction from TANGERINE (“Nom de Plume”) The Road to Becoming A Bionic Male: Answers to Questions, Concerns, and Hopes I remember the words of my local urologist who stated: "implants do have issues, but they work really well." Getting a penile implant is truly a wonderful surgical cure for erectile dysfunction; but it takes courage to man-up for this big step in your journey to fight, and overcome, the turmoil of erectile dysfunction. My life has become better since the implant because my mind is now "free from fixation" on the concerns of erectile dysfunction. Realizing that I am strongly capable and confident in the bedroom due to my restored manhood, I now have the freedom to focus on the other things in my world. I am now 17 months after surgery. Life is good and I am so happy that I made the decision to get the implant. Over the last year, I have been quite active on this Franktalk site. This pamphlet represents a compilation of my answers to many of the frequently asked questions. Maybe one day I will convert this into a book, but in the meantime, I have published this electronically here for your use as a source of first hand patient experience. In a nutshell, this pamphlet discusses everything you need to know about the implant. It is of course, "one man's opinion", but I have done my best to remain objective and to pull in medical journal articles to support these writings.
