Background And Objective: Implantation of penile prosthesis (PP) into scarred and fibrotic corpora can be a difficult challenge. In this review article, we provide a review of penile fibrosis, discuss current medical and surgical management and summarize preventative strategies.
Methods: In this study, we searched PubMed between the years 2000-2023 for publications with search strategy: "penile fibrosis" OR "scarred corpora" OR "fibrosed corpora".
Article Synopsis
- Modern penile prostheses, which help with certain medical problems, have been getting better since the 1970s in both how they're made and how they're put in.
- It's really important for doctors to pick the right patients and talk to them before surgery to make sure they understand what to expect.
- After surgery, following specific instructions can help make sure everything goes well and that patients feel happier with the results.
Purpose Of Review: The goal of this paper was to discuss the issues and/or overt complications associated with the 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (3-IPP) pump. We also addressed how to resolve such issues with or without surgical intervention.
Recent Findings: Numerous modifications of the 3-IPP pump have been introduced with multiple techniques to place the pump.
Purpose Of Review: The goal of this paper was to evaluate the current use of semirigid penile prosthesis (SRPP), surgical techniques for insertion of SRPP, and how to prevent and approach surgical complications.
Recent Findings: SRPP is a valid option for those who are refractory to medical therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) and even more appropriate for specific subsets of patient populations. It is important for urologists to know which patient population SRPP is preferred for.
Purpose Of Review: The goal of this review article is to evaluate sexual dysfunction among men who have sex with men (MSM).
Recent Findings: Men who have sex with men are commonly affected by sexual dysfunction. Often sexual dysfunction in MSM will significantly impact their psychological well-being perhaps even more than their heterosexual counterparts.
