Delayed gangrenous penile necrosis following prolonged utilization of penile constriction ring.

Penile strangulation secondary to utilization of a constrictive ring is a rare urologic emergency that requires urgent decompression to prevent prolonged vascular obstruction resulting in necrosis and gangrene. Current literature is mainly comprised of case presentations that focus on management in the acute setting via removal of the ring. Herein, we describe surgical management of a patient who presents in delayed fashion after self-removal of the constrictive ring.

Thematic analysis of the psycho-sexual symptoms in patients with Peyronie's disease present on online forums.

Peyronie's disease (PD) is a fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea that may result in penile deformity, pain, a palpable plaque, and erectile dysfunction. In order to understand the psycho-sexual impacts of PD on patients and their partners, we selected three online forums containing the largest number of threads on PD. Threads focusing on the psycho-sexual impacts posted from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2021 were compiled, and thematic analysis was performed on Dedoose.

Placement of Resonance Stent for Malignant or Benign Ureteral Obstruction.

The aim of this article is to illustrate a step-by-step guide to placement of Resonance metallic ureteral stent (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN) for management of malignant or benign ureteral obstruction. In this article, the steps of operating room setup, patient positioning, gaining access to the upper urinary tract, and endoscopic and fluoroscopic placement of a Resonance ureteral stent are described.

Risk Factors for Sexual Pain Among Physically Active Women.

Introduction: Sexual pain is common among women but little is known about associations with exercise and physical activity.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of sexual pain among physically active women and to evaluate cycling and other potential risk factors.

Methods: This is a secondary data analysis of a study on the urinary and sexual wellness of physically active women recruited through sporting clubs and targeted social media advertising.

Pubic Hair Grooming and Sexually Transmitted Infections: A Clinic-Based Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: Pubic hair grooming has been correlated with a self-reported history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We examined this relationship further in a cross-sectional survey of patients attending an urban STI clinic in San Francisco in 2018.

Methods: Pubic hair grooming practices and detailed sexual histories were obtained.

Attributes of Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons Fellows and Early Career Trajectory of the Recent Graduates.

Introduction: We identified the attributes that the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons (GURS) fellowship directors prioritize in applicants. The secondary objective was to study the early career trajectory of recent GURS fellowship graduates.

Methods: GURS fellowship directors and fellows from 2014 to 2018 were surveyed electronically using Qualtrics® software.

An electronic registry to improve adherence to active surveillance monitoring among men with prostate cancer at a safety-net hospital: protocol for a pilot study.

Background: The evidence-based practice of active surveillance to monitor men with favorable-risk prostate cancer in lieu of initial definitive treatment is becoming more common. However, there are barriers to effective implementation, particularly in low-resource settings. Our goal is to assess the efficacy and feasibility of a health information technology registry for men on active surveillance at a safety-net hospital to ensure patients receive guideline-recommended care.

Qualitative Analysis of the Content Found in Online Discussion Boards for Urethral Stricture Disease and Urethroplasty.

Objective: To describe the patient experience and chief concerns with urethroplasty to improve physician understanding and patient education. Online discussion boards allow patients with urethral stricture disease (USD) to connect with other USD patients. It is unknown how men use these web resources and what information is available about urethroplasty.

Trends in Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use among Patients with Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: We explored the prevalence and trends of self-reported complementary and alternative medicine use among patients with prostate cancer using CaPSURE™ (Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor).

Materials And Methods: A total of 7,989 CaPSURE participants completed questionnaires between 1996 and 2016 on the use of nearly 70 complementary and alternative medicine types. Participants were defined as users if they indicated that they had ever used complementary and alternative medicines.

Stability of a 17-Gene Genomic Prostate Score in Serial Testing of Men on Active Surveillance for Early Stage Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: Genomic testing may improve risk stratification in men with prostate cancer managed by active surveillance. We aimed to characterize the stability and usefulness of serial genomic test scores in men undergoing serial biopsies during active surveillance.

Materials And Methods: We compiled clinical and disease characteristics of men on active surveillance using an institutional Urologic Outcomes Database.

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Behavioral Outcomes from a Technology-enhanced Behavioral Change Intervention (Prostate 8): A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial in Men with Prostate Cancer.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that lifestyle factors may decrease the risk of prostate cancer progression. Lifestyle guidelines and tools may support lifestyle modification after diagnosis.

Objective: To determine the feasibility and acceptability of a digital lifestyle intervention among men with prostate cancer.

The association of bicycle-related genital numbness and Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score: results from a large, multinational, cross-sectional study.

Objective: To assess the association of genital numbness and erectile dysfunction in male cyclists.

Subjects And Methods: Cyclists were recruited through Facebook advertisements and outreach to sporting clubs. This is a secondary analysis of a larger epidemiological population-based study that examined sexual and urinary wellness in athletes.

Sex differences and subclinical retinal injury in pediatric-onset MS.

Objective: To assess retinal ganglion cell (RGC) injury and sex differences in axon loss in pediatric multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: This is a cross-sectional evaluation of consecutive pediatric MS subjects and controls. Eyes with acute optic neuritis (ON) within 6 months of visit were excluded.
