Vein ligation for veno-occlusive erectile dysfunction is being abandoned due to the recurrence rate. Among the reasons for failure is inability to ligate the deep system of veins; the internal pudendal vein. The vein exits the pelvis in the gluteal region, from the lesser sciatic foramen to the greater sciatic foramen, coursing over the ischial spine and sacro-spinous ligament, under the gluteus maximus.

We present Shaeer's Cavernotome (patent application number PCT/EG2021/050003). This is the forward-cutting cavernotome that relies on the principle of controlled coring and grinding rather than forward stabbing, with fibrous tissue accommodated into the hollow core, thereby ensuring high efficacy and low risk of perforation.

Aim: We sought to describe Shaeer's corporal rotation IV, aiming at correction of moderate-to-severe ventral penile curvature with minimal shortening, minimal narrowing, and minimal mobilization of the neurovascular bundle, among other improvements such as using thicker suture material to decease recurrence while inverting the surgical knots.
Methods: Forty-two patients with congenital ventral penile curvature were selected for the study with a curve ranging from 60° to 90°.
Background: With the infrapubic approach (IPA) for penile prosthesis implantation, lateral corporotomies carry the risk of injury to the laterally coursing dorsal nerves.
Aim: We sought to describe for the first time Shaeer's IPA, a modification of the IPA whereby malleable penile prosthesis cylinders are implanted through a single midline corporotomy in the bed of the deep dorsal vein, anatomically off the course of the dorsal nerves of the penis.
Methods: We compared semirigid penile prosthesis implantation via the single midline corporotomy IPA (IPA-S, n = 11) to the classic IPA with laterally placed dual corporotomies (IPA-D, n = 11) and to the penoscrotal approach (PSA; n = 13).
Background: So far, male genital tract color-Doppler ultrasound (MGT-CDUS) was not standardized. Recently, the European Academy of Andrology (EAA) published the results of a multicenter study assessing the CDUS characteristics of healthy-fertile men (HFM) to obtain normative parameters.
Objectives: To report the EAA US study (i) standard operating procedures (SOPs) for assessing MGT-CDUS, (ii) main MGT-CDUS normative parameters, and (iii) compare the EAA and previously published "normal" CDUS values.

: To examine the effectiveness of preoperative urethral sterilisation with chlorhexidine gel in rendering the urethra as sterile as the skin of the genital area, with the skin sterilised as per the International Society for Sexual Medicine guidelines for penile prosthesis implantation. : A total of 111 male patients undergoing sterile andrological surgical procedures were divided into a control group ( = 61) and a chlorhexidine gel group ( = 50). Patients in the chlorhexidine group received urethral instillation with 6 mL of chlorhexidine preoperatively and on table.

Fifty-six mature male rats with equally sized testes were included in this study. Forty-six were in the study group, and 10 were in the control group.

Aim: Evaluating transcorporeal debulking of Peyronie's plaques by "Shaeer's punch technique."
Methods: Penile prosthesis implantation and punch technique (PPI-Punch) was performed for 26 patients.
Background: Infertility affects 7%-12% of men, and its etiology is unknown in half of cases. To fill this gap, use of the male genital tract color-Doppler ultrasound (MGT-CDUS) has progressively expanded. However, MGT-CDUS still suffers from lack of standardization.

Aim: Mitomycin C is an antitumor, antibiotic agent with a potent antifibrotic action that can be used to limit corporal scarring following explantation with the aim of achieving easy and safe subsequent reimplantation, in addition to preserving penile size.
Methods: This was a prospective study involving 5 patients with infected penile prostheses who were referred to our tertiary implantation center.
Introduction: When a penile prosthesis is implanted, a fibrous tissue capsule gradually forms around it. In case of penile prosthesis infection, salvage and immediate reimplantation into the same capsule that envelops the infected prosthesis is a trial to avoid the difficulty and shortening encountered with explantation and delayed reimplantation.
Aim: We propose that, on salvage, the infected prosthesis be explanted, the capsule washed out and then abandoned, and the replacement prosthesis implanted in the extracapsular sinusoidal space, between the capsule and tunica albuginea.
Introduction: A shorter penis is a frequent complaint following penile prosthesis implantation (PPI), and a large redundant suprapubic fat pad can conceal the penis and possibly compromise patient and partner satisfaction with length.
Aim: To evaluate feasibility and outcome of same-session, same-incision, PPI and suprapubic lipectomy (SPL).
Methods: In 22 patients, SPL was performed through an abdominal crease incision.
Many patients complain of shortened length following penile prosthesis implantation. Dorsal phalloplasty (DP) can accompany prosthesis placement to mitigate this complaint by resulting in more visible penis outside the plane of the patient's body. DP is done through the same incision.

Several instruments and techniques have been used for making dilatation of scarred corporeal bodies easier and safer in expert hands. Nevertheless, in some cases, implantation is not possible.

Objectives: Following penile prosthesis implantation (PPI), patients may complain of a decrease in visible penis length. A dorsal phalloplasty defines the penopubic junction by tacking pubic skin to the , revealing the base of the penis. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a dorsal phalloplasty in increasing the visible penis length following PPI.

Background: A concealed penis is a condition where part of the penis is invisible below the surface of the prepubic skin. Dermolipectomy can correct this condition, although it involves a long abdominal crease incision, or infrapubic incision around the base of the penis, and a possibility for genital lymphedema. This study describes Shaeer's technique, a minimally invasive method for revealing the concealed penis.

The basic principle was shifting the concavity of both corpora cavernosa from the ventral aspect of the penis to the lateral aspects, in opposition. Rotation was achieved by approximating short parallel incisions on the dorsum of both corpora cavernosa.

Management has been controversial; some authors described resolution following priapism-specific interventions, and others recommended addition of CML-specific therapy or even CML-specific therapy alone.

The Global Online Sexuality Survey (GOSS) is an online epidemiologic study of male and female sexuality. The online nature of GOSS allows more confidentiality and wider geographic reach, particularly important in investigating sexual issues within the more conservative societies.

In cases with veno-occlusive dysfunction (VOD), alternative surgical techniques such as dorsal vein ligation (DVL) are controversial. Some patients may opt for trial at DVL to avoid the possible complications of PPI.

Flaps are considered superior to grafts considering their uninterrupted blood supply.
Aim: The current work describes long-term experience with penile girth augmentation using the superficial circumflex iliac artery and vein (SCIAV) flap.
Introduction: Lateral deviation of the erect straight penis (LDESP) refers to a penis that despite being straight in the erect state, points laterally, yet can be directed forward manually without the use of force. While LDESP should not impose a negative impact on sexual function, it may have a negative cosmetic impact.
Aim: This work describes skin reduction technique (SRT) for correction of LDESP.
Introduction: The Global Online Sexuality Survey (GOSS) is a worldwide epidemiologic study of sexuality and sexual disorders. In 2010, the first report of GOSS came from the Middle East.
