Purpose: Men who ejaculate before or shortly after penetration, without a sense of control, and who experience distress related to this condition may be diagnosed with premature ejaculation (PE), while men who experience difficulty achieving sexual climax may be diagnosed with delayed ejaculation (DE). The experience of many clinicians suggest that these problems are not rare and can be a source of considerable embarrassment and dissatisfaction for patients. The role of the clinician in managing PE and DE is to conduct appropriate investigation, to provide education, and to offer available treatments that are rational and based on sound scientific data.

Objective: To study, in a multi-institutional setting, the efficacy/safety outcomes in acute phase Peyronie's disease (PD) of multiple high-volume centers employing CCH to treat PD, which is defined as the abnormal formation of fibrous plaque(s) in the tunica albuginea of the penis. It is a chronic condition that afflicts 3%-13% of the US male population. There is no current multi-institutional research on the efficacy and safety of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) in the treatment of acute phase PD.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) impacts more than 50% of men older than 40 years; Peyronie disease (PD) affects up to 10% of men, with an adverse impact on normal sexual function and overall well-being. ED can also be the first sign of other underlying disease. The office-based evaluation of ED and PD is the first step in the management of these devastating conditions of men's health.

Objective: To evaluate and assess any inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP)-related complications in patients with organ-confined prostate cancer treated definitively with third-generation, ultrasound-guided prostate cryoablation.

Material And Methods: From November 2003 to October 2010, we identified 100 consecutive patients with clinically organ-confined prostate cancer who were treated with targeted cryoablation as primary or salvage therapy by a single surgeon. Review of these patients revealed 13 who had previously been diagnosed with organic erectile dysfunction and had been implanted with a multiple-component IPP by the same surgeon.
