Background: Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion is recommended for the treatment of patients with Peyronie's disease (PD) and significant erectile dysfunction (ED); adjunctive procedures can be used for residual curvature after IPP placement.
Aim: To assess the management of penile curvature correction in PD patients undergoing IPP procedures within a large multinational, multicenter cohort.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on PD patients treated with IPP by 11 experienced prosthetic surgeons.
Purpose: Surgical resident autonomy in procedures has been eroding over time, due to multiple factors that include duty hour restrictions, focus on operating time, complication rate, and trust among supervising physicians. This study examines whether urology residents at the Veterans Affairs hospitals (VA) have experienced decreased surgical autonomy and contributing factors.
Methods: The national VA Surgical Quality Improvement Program (VASQIP) was queried for the most common urologic procedures between 2004 to 2019 with resident involvement.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze pre- and intraoperative factors influencing the integrity of corporal bodies after placing an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP), focusing on the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
- Researchers reviewed a database of over 5,400 IPP surgeries conducted between 2016 and 2021, identifying significant predictors for complications linked to corporal integrity.
- Key predictors for complications included revision surgery, older age, and medical conditions like coronary artery disease or peripheral vascular disease, indicating the need for consideration of these factors during IPP placement to reduce risks.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with urologic conditions, like Peyronie's disease, are increasingly seeking health information online despite having access to clinicians through electronic health records.
- The study aimed to evaluate the quality, accuracy, and readability of information provided by four large language model (LLM) chatbots, particularly in response to specific patient queries about Peyronie's disease.
- Results indicated that unprompted responses from LLMs were of moderate quality but improved to high quality when prompted; however, the reading level of responses was too complex for general understanding, averaging at a grade 12.9 level.
The Princeton Consensus (Expert Panel) Conference is a multispecialty collaborative symposium dedicated to optimizing sexual function and preserving cardiovascular health. The Fourth Princeton Consensus Conference was convened on March 10-11, 2023, at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes in Pasadena, California. Princeton panels I to III addressed the clinical management of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who also had cardiovascular disease.
