Complication Rates in Patients Using Intracavernosal Injection Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction With or Without Concurrent Anticoagulant Use-A Single-Center, Retrospective Pilot Study.

Background: Intracavernosal injection therapy (ICI) is an effective intervention used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It has been proposed that caution should be exercised when prescribing ICI to patients currently taking anticoagulants (AC) due to the theoretical increased risk of bleeding, however, there is limited literature describing complication rates of actively anticoagulated patients utilizing ICI.

Aim: We sought to determine whether there was a difference in bleeding and other complications in a cohort of patients using ICI therapy with or without concurrent AC use.

Does knowing pre-operative penile length influence patient satisfaction post penile prosthesis implantation?

Patients who undergo penile prosthesis implantation as treatment for erectile dysfunction commonly complain of penile shortening after implantation. We conducted a study to determine whether knowledge of pre-operative stretched penile length measurement influences patient satisfaction. This prospective study consisted of 149 patients undergoing inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation from August 2017 to December 2019.

Comparison of Satisfaction With Penile Prosthesis Implantation in Patients With Radical Prostatectomy or Radical Cystoprostatectomy to the General Population.

Introduction: Penile prosthesis implantation is a widely used treatment option for erectile dysfunction. Data is limited with regard to patient satisfaction with a penile prosthesis following radical prostatectomy/cystoprostatectomy vs patients with erectile dysfunction of other etiologies.

Aim: To examine patient satisfaction with penile prosthesis implantation and determine if a difference in satisfaction exists in post-prostatectomy/cystoprostatectomy patients vs patients with erectile dysfunction of other etiologies.

Expanding the Limits-Improving Penile Length With Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Implantation: A Review.

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction is a multifactorial disorder that increases in prevalence as men age. When medical therapy fails or when men are unwilling to try it, surgical intervention becomes the urologist's next best tool. However, the loss of penile length is of great concern to many patients, and there have been a myriad of ways to try to combat this fear from both patients and the surgeons themselves.

Amiodarone induced epididymo-orchitis.

Unlabelled: Amiodarone has a well-established and extensive side effect profile: pulmonary fibrosis, thyroid toxicity, corneal deposits, and skin discoloration. However, in some rare instances epididymitis/orchitis is a side effect of amiodarone. Symptoms range from testicular pain to swelling and erythema.

Bilateral Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomies: A Case Report.

Although laparoscopy is a recognized operative approach to the management of renal masses, there is currently no standardized approach to manage bilateral synchronous renal masses. We present a case of synchronous bilateral renal masses, identified during work-up for flank pain, and managed simultaneously with laparoscopic partial nephrectomies. The patient is a 42-year-old Caucasian male found to have bilateral renal masses during evaluation for left flank pain.
