Inflatable penile prosthesis implantation in the outpatient setting is safe and feasible: a prospective, singe center study.

Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantations are commonly performed in hospital settings which accommodate an overnight stay and are increasingly being performed as day procedures in outpatient settings with same-day discharge. This study sought to investigate the safety and feasibility of day surgery insertion of an IPP. Surgical parameters and incidence of postoperative complications including infection, hospital admission, emergency room visitation, and additional analgesia were investigated.

Efficacy of Rezūm water vapor therapy for the treatment of catheter-dependent urinary retention: A single-center, Canadian experience.

Introduction: Urinary retention secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requiring catheterization is a prevalent and morbid condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of Rezūm as the primary treatment of catheter-dependent urinary retention.

Methods: A single-center, retrospective study analyzed patients with catheter-dependent urinary retention secondary to BPH who were treated with Rezūm between April 2022 and April 2024.

Utilizing Local Anesthesia Only for Penile and Scrotal Urologic Surgery: A Prospective Study on Patient Tolerability and Surgical Outcomes for a Sedation-free Option.

Objective: To prospectively assess surgical outcomes, complications, and patient-reported tolerability of invasive scrotal surgeries under local anesthesia (LA) alone, without sedation, compared to tolerability of penile procedures commonly performed in this manner.

Methods: Adult patients undergoing penile and scrotal surgeries under LA only were enrolled from August 2022 to June 2023 (NCT05617261). Demographics, surgeon-perceived and patient-reported pain, and surgical variables were collected.

Prospective Pilot Study: Tolerability of Outpatient Penile Plication Under Nursing-Administered Conscious Sedation vs Anesthesiologist-Administered Deep Sedation.

Introduction: Penile plication is commonly performed for Peyronie's disease under general or spinal anesthesia. Conscious sedation (CS) offers decreased anesthetic risks, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to perform the procedure in outpatient settings with shorter wait times. We sought to compare tolerability of penile plication under deep intravenous sedation (DIS) administered by anesthesiologists and nursing-administered CS (NACS).
