Introduction: In cases of a noninfected malfunctioning inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) device, surgeons often opt to exchange all of the device rather than the defective component for fear of an increased infection rate and future mechanical dysfunction.
Objectives: To assess whether partial-component exchange of an IPP device has comparable outcomes to complete explant and replacement of an IPP device with or without a retained reservoir.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 and AMSTAR guidelines.
Introduction: Tobacco smoking is a known risk factor for cancer development and smoking cessation can lower this risk and improve outcomes in some cancer patients.

For patients not interested in preserving fertility, some centers advocate ligation of the vas during denervation, while others prefer stripping of the vas deferens to preserve the vasal artery, hence preserving vasculature to the testis and possibly decreasing post-operative congestion pain.
Objective: To compare outcomes of patients with chronic orchialgia, who underwent MSCD by either stripping or ligating the vas deferens.
Objective: In the Middle East, there is a paucity of data regarding germ cell tumor characteristics and treatment outcomes. Herein, we aim to present the largest series in Jordan reporting our cancer center experience managing GCT.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, a total of 241 patients with a pathological diagnosis of GCT were treated at our cancer center.
