Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze pre- and intraoperative factors influencing the integrity of corporal bodies after placing an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP), focusing on the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
  • Researchers reviewed a database of over 5,400 IPP surgeries conducted between 2016 and 2021, identifying significant predictors for complications linked to corporal integrity.
  • Key predictors for complications included revision surgery, older age, and medical conditions like coronary artery disease or peripheral vascular disease, indicating the need for consideration of these factors during IPP placement to reduce risks.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to identify factors influencing the length of penile implants in men undergoing primary inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) placement at multiple surgical centers from July 2016 to July 2021.
  • - Findings revealed that older age, Asian ethnicity, history of radical prostatectomy, and the infrapubic surgical approach were linked to shorter implant lengths, while Black or African American ethnicity was associated with longer implants.
  • - Understanding these associations can help doctors better counsel patients about potential implant lengths and set realistic expectations for postoperative outcomes.

Male hypogonadism is a clinical syndrome that results in low testosterone levels and frequently leads to infertility. The syndrome occurs due to disruption at one or more levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is the most common treatment utilised for male hypogonadism.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to investigate how climate variations influence the risk of infections in patients receiving inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery across multiple international medical centers.
  • The research analyzed data from 5,289 patients, finding no statistically significant correlation between the season or month of surgery, daily temperature, humidity, or dew point, and the occurrence of infections, which were relatively low at 1.9%.
  • The results suggest that urologists don't need to adjust infection prevention strategies based on climate conditions when performing IPP surgeries.

Objective: To assess the difference in outcomes between single dilation (SingD) and sequential dilation (SeqD) in primary penile implantation, hypothesizing that patients who undergo SeqD had higher rates of noninfectious complications.

Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective study of men undergoing primary inflatable penile prosthesis placement. Intraoperative complications and postoperative noninfectious outcomes were assessed between the two groups.

Background: Corporal fibrosis is known to result from prolonged priapism; however, the impact of the timing of penile prosthesis placement after priapism on complication rates is poorly understood.

Aim: We sought to evaluate the impact of timing of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) placement on complications in men with a history of ischemic priapism.

Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of patients with a history of priapism undergoing IPP placement by 10 experienced implantation surgeons.

Purpose: Our aim was to determine if the AUA-recommended prophylaxis (vancomycin + gentamicin alone) for primary inflatable penile prosthesis surgery is associated with a higher infection risk than nonstandard regimens.

Materials And Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective study of patients undergoing primary inflatable penile prosthesis surgery. Patients were divided into those receiving vancomycin + gentamicin alone and those receiving any other regimen.

Conservative and medical treatments are considered the first step in ischemic priapism (IP) management, although there is no clear evidence regarding their efficacy. We conducted a systematic review on behalf of the EAU Guidelines panel on Sexual and Reproductive health to analyse the available evidence on the efficacy and safety of conservative and medical treatment for non-sickle cell disease-related IP. Databases searched for relevant literature investigating efficacy and safety of conservative measures and medical treatment for IP included Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries and clinicaltrial.

Objectives: To perform a multi-institutional investigation of incidence and outcomes of urethral trauma sustained during attempted catheterization.

Patients & Methods: A prospective, multi-center study was conducted over a designated 3-4 month period, incorporating seven academic hospitals across the UK and Ireland. Cases of urethral trauma arising from attempted catheterization were recorded.

Objectives: To produce a best practice consensus guideline for the conduct of scrotal exploration for suspected testicular torsion using formal consensus methodology.

Materials And Methods: A panel of 16 expert urologists, representing adult, paediatric, general, and andrological urology used the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Consensus Methodology to score a 184 statement pre-meeting questionnaire on the conduct of scrotal exploration for suspected testicular torsion. The collated responses were presented at a face-to-face online meeting and each item was rescored anonymously after a group discussion, facilitated by an independent chair with expertise in consensus methodology.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews existing literature on antifungal prophylaxis during penile prosthesis (PP) surgery to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing post-surgery fungal infections.
  • A systematic search of databases revealed nine studies showing that fungal infections accounted for 11.1% of all PP infections, with higher risks in patients with diabetes, obesity, and in warmer climates.
  • Current guidelines from the American and European urology associations do not include antifungal treatment, but combining antifungals with antibiotics could lower infection rates, suggesting that broader use of antifungal prophylaxis might be beneficial.

A variety of devices are available for the management of patients with erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, penile dysmorphophobia, for support before and after penile prosthesis insertion, and after radical prostatectomy. Traction devices include, but are not limited to, Penimaster PRO (MSP Concept, Berlin, Germany), Andropenis and Andropeyronie (Andromedical, Madrid, Spain), and the Restorex (PathRight Medical, Plymouth, USA). The other type of devices are vacuum devices such the Osbon ErecAid (Timm Medical, MN, USA).

Background And Aims: The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 presented an unprecedented challenge to urological service globally. In many countries, outpatient clinics were cancelled, and the use of telemedicine visits was increased. For urological complaints, the need to perform a sensitive clinical examination via telemedicine posed an unfamiliar environment.

Ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) remains a rare but surgically correctable cause of male sexual dysfunction and male infertility due to obstructive azoospermia, diagnosed in up to 5% of infertile men. EDO should, therefore, be considered within the list of differential diagnoses for men undergoing infertility investigations, with work up including clinical examination, transurethral ultrasonography, semen analysis, chromotubation, seminal vesiculography and seminal vesicle aspiration. Obstruction can be limited to the distal ends of the ducts or it can extend proximally to include the terminal portions of the vasa deferentia, with the site and length of the obstruction having implications for surgical intervention.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) affects ∼1% of children. We present an unusual case of urinary retention secondary to an obstructing urethral stone, underlying reflux, and its management. A 7-year-old boy presenting with acute urinary retention had a palpable penile shaft swelling and patent urethral meatus on examination.
