The Who, How and What of Real-World Penile Implantation in 2015: The PROPPER Registry Baseline Data.

Purpose: To date, the published data on patients treated with penile implantation generally consist of small series of single surgeon, retrospective experiences rather than prospective or large, multicenter evaluations. This study establishes a baseline of data collection from the PROPPER (Prospective Registry of Outcomes with Penile Prosthesis for Erectile Restoration). The PROPPER is the first large, prospective, multicenter, multinational, monitored, and internal review board approved study of real-world outcomes for patients with penile implants.

Immediate postoperative complications of combined penetrating rectal and bladder injuries.

Background: Combined penetrating trauma involving the rectum and bladder has been associated with increased postoperative morbidity. Specific complications resulting from these injuries include colovesical fistula, urinoma, and abscess formation.

Methods: A retrospective review of Temple University Hospital trauma database was performed.

Delayed diagnosis of traumatic ureteral injuries.

Purpose: We review our experience with traumatic ureteral injuries missed at exploration. We also conduct meta-analysis to define factors contributing to missed injury, comparing outcomes of early vs late diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: Our genitourinary trauma database was retrospectively reviewed from 1995 through 2004.

Incidence and management of penetrating renal trauma in patients with multiorgan injury: extended experience at an inner city trauma center.

Purpose: Patients with penetrating trauma often have multiorgan involvement that may complicate the management of any single organ system. Here we review the incidence of associated injuries in patients with penetrating renal trauma and our extended experience treating these patients at a busy inner city trauma center.

Materials And Methods: All trauma cases presenting to Temple University Trauma Center during a 6-year period were identified through our institutional databases and were reviewed (5,276).
