Experience With Extra-Tunical Grafting and Tunica Albuginea Plication for Correction of Indentation Deformity in Men With Peyronie's Disease.

Objective: To further evaluate extra-tunical grafting (ETG), a relatively new surgical option to treat corporal indentation in those with Peyronie's disease without buckling or hinge effect, we report our experience, patient satisfaction, and surgical outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective review of patients following ETG, including pre-operative deformity, type of graft, graft location (under or over Buck fascia), patient characteristics, and satisfaction. Overall cosmetic satisfaction with deformity correction between patients undergoing 2 different ETG locations and 3 different types of grafts, as well as perceived bother of graft visibility and palpability were assessed.

Circumcision and Sexual Medicine.

Introduction: Male circumcision is one of the most frequently performed and debated urological procedures due to its possible implications for sexual health.

Objectives: The objective of this article is to review the literature on male circumcision and reconcile the scientific evidence to improve the quality of care, patient education, and clinician decision-making regarding the effects on sexual function of this procedure.

Methods: A review of the published literature regarding male circumcision was performed on PubMed.

Prostatitis: A Review.

Purpose Of Review: Pathologies of the prostate in men are one of the most prevalent clinical conditions today [1]. Specifically, pelvic inflammatory disease such as prostatitis can cause symptoms and syndromes different from urological ones, such as bowel or nervous system manifestations. This has a largely negative impact on the quality of life of patients.

Penile Implant Instrument Innovations.

Purpose Of Review: Numerous innovations have been made since the first inflatable penile prosthesis was introduced in 1973-not just of the implant apparatus itself, but crucially also in the surgical instruments used for prosthetic surgery. Starting with Dr. Furlow's revolutionary inserter tool, advancements were quickly made in dilators, retractors, and cavernotomes.

Genital Mutilation in Males.

Purpose Of The Review: Genital mutilation in males can range from minor injuries (cuts from a blade) to severe urological emergencies (testicular or penile amputation). Due to the rarity of these events, there is a lack of extensive reports, as most of the available literature is regarding single cases. Genital mutilation has been associated with psychotic and non-psychotic causes, psychiatric conditions, drug consumption, sexual practices, or even cultural or religious beliefs.
