Tips and tricks in the management of inflatable penile prosthesis infection: A review.

Objective: To review the management of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) infection.: The 'gold-standard' treatment for medication-refractory erectile dysfunction is the IPP, wherein the most dreaded complication is infection. To prevent and manage an infected IPP requires a strict protocol during the pre-, intra-, and postoperative course.

Self-Induced Trauma to the Genitalia: a Review of the Literature and Management Schemes.

Purpose Of Review: Self-induced genital trauma is rare, and prompt and evidence-based early intervention can improve the urinary and sexual function of these complex patients. This review has surveyed current literature and treatment trends to evaluate the clinical approach to managing genital trauma.

Recent Findings: A literature review was performed regarding self-induced genitalia trauma and trauma management between 2000 and 2019 using MEDLINE® database, the Cochrane Library® Central Search, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

Conservative Therapy for Peyronie's Disease: a Contemporary Review of the Literature.

Purpose Of Review: To analyze the literature on current conservative treatment options for Peyronie's disease (PD).

Recent Findings: Conservative therapy with intralesional collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is safe and efficacious in either the acute or chronic phases of PD. Combination treatment with penile traction therapy (PTT) can produce even better results.

The sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis is an extremely rare entity.

We present the case of a 31-year-old single male patient, who was admitted through emergency unit with painless hard nodule of his left testis of 6 months' duration. Ultrasound scan of the scrotum showed a fairly well-defined hypo echoic area in the left testicular parenchyma in its middle part, measuring approximately 10 × 9 mm in size. We performed left inguinal radical orchidectomy.

Safety and Efficacy of Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum in the Treatment of Acute Phase Peyronie's Disease: A Multi-institutional Analysis.

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.

Does Lowering Hemoglobin A1c Reduce Penile Prosthesis Infection: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a glycated form of hemoglobin, develops when glucose is elevated in the blood. It is used as a marker of how well a diabetic patient has been controlling their blood sugar over the previous 3-4 months. Some use HbA1c as a predictor of infection risk during prosthetic surgery, and many surgeons require patients to lower it preoperatively.

Application of Botulinum Neurotoxin in Male Sexual Dysfunction: Where Are We Now?

Introduction: Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is a recognized therapeutic agent of modern medical care, routinely used to treat medical conditions affecting a variety of organ systems including the musculoskeletal, integumentary, and urological domains. Ongoing research is exploring BoNT's potential role as a therapeutic agent for a variety of male sexual pathologies.

Objective: To review and analyze the literature regarding BoNT as a treatment option for male sexual dysfunction.

Novel Treatments of Erectile Dysfunction: Review of the Current Literature.

Introduction: Although available treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) have expanded, there has been a concomitant shift in the treatment paradigm. Newer treatment options focus on disease modification and improving overall erectile function.

Objective: The objective of this study is to review the evidence of 3 promising novel ED treatments.

Application of Botulinum Neurotoxin in Female Sexual and Genitourinary Dysfunction: A Review of Current Practices.

Introduction: The past 2 decades have witnessed an increased amount of research into botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) as a treatment for various forms of sexual dysfunction and pain syndromes refractory to other medical therapy. BoNT is postulated to reduce pain sensation by inhibiting neuropeptide release in the presynaptic neuron. Dyspareunia, vaginismus, vestibulodynia, and persistent genital arousal disorder are female sexual dysfunctions with cryptic pathophysiology and limited treatment options.

Review of Intralesional Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum Injection Therapy and Related Combination Therapies in the Treatment of Peyronie's Disease (an Update).

Introduction: Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is an injectable agent used to treat Peyronie's disease (PD) by enzymatically degrading the interstitial collagen in plaques. CCH has been administered via multiple treatment protocols, in combination therapies, to patients with varying curvatures and in both the acute and stable phases of this condition.

Objectives: To review the current literature and provide an update on CCH as an injectable therapy for PD, as a singular therapy or in conjunction with combination therapies, and its associated complications.

Primary localised amyloidosis of the urinary bladder: A recurrent and progressive disease.

Primary amyloidosis results from the deposition of amyloid protein fibrils in the extracellular space and rarely involves the urinary bladder. We present a 41-year-old man who was diagnosed with primary amyloidosis of the urinary bladder and underwent two sessions of transurethral resection of the bladder mass 4 years prior. Recently, the patient was admitted through the emergency with painless frank haematuria.
