Objective: The main objective of this revision is to summarize the current existing evidence of the potential adverse effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the male reproductive system and provide the recommendations of the Asociación Española de Andrología, Medicina Sexual y Reproductiva (ASESA) concerning the implications of COVID-19 infection in the management of male infertilty patients and testicular endocrine dysfunction.
Methods: A comprehensive systematic literature search of the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, Cochrane and MedRxiv, was carried out.
Results: The presence of orchitis as a potential complication of the infection by SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been confirmed.
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic which has affected Spain since the beginning of 2020 compels us to determine recomendations for the practice of Andrology in present times.
Materials And Methods: A web search is carried out in English and Spanish and a joint proposal is defined by experts in Andrology from different regions of Spain.
Results: Most diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Andrology can be safey postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Penile cancer is a neoplasm that predominantly affects males in the sixth decade of life, with an incidence of .3-1 per 100,000. Traditionally, the treatment of the primary lesion has consisted of total or partial amputation of the penis.

Prosthesis replacement has become an accepted procedure in the event of device malfunction or complications, but to our knowledge, there are no data regarding the impact of implant replacement on patients and partner satisfaction.
Aim: The aim of our study was to assess and to compare the level of satisfaction, with a first or second penile prosthesis implantation (PPI), in men with refractory erectile dysfunction and their partners.
Objectives: Avanafil is a highly selective phosfosdiesterase 5 inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitor), with rapid onset of action, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It had been recently commercialized in Spain. This article presents a detailed review of the available literature, where the safety, tolerability and efficacy of avanafil were evaluated.

Material And Methods: We reviewed the latest scientific evidence in all the fields mentioned above, performing a critical analysis.
Conclusion: α-blockers are now considered first-line treatment in lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, but the indications go beyond, and are able to improve, alone or in combination with other drugs, the previously mentioned pathologies.
Objective: To report two new cases of Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney, one of them with tumor thrombus in cava.
Method: Characterization of two new cases and literature review by PubMed search.
Results: We report the cases of two men diagnosed with primary renal Ewing's sarcoma, who have been treated with nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, being in complete remission to date.
Objectives: To evaluate the functional results and incidence of complications in a series of pediatric renal transplants using grafts from pediatric donors under 3 years of age.
Methods: We review a serious of 19 renal transplants consecutively performed in pediatric receptors with donors under the age of 3 years. We analyze immediate function, medical and surgical complications, and long and mid-term graft and patient survivals.
