AI Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to create a detailed 3D image of the penile suspensory ligament and explore a new method for observing it from multiple angles.
- Patients with small penises underwent MRI scans, and the images were processed using 3D reconstruction software to visualize the suspensory ligament and surrounding structures.
- The results showed clear depiction of important anatomical features, allowing for precise descriptions of the suspensory ligament's characteristics, which can inform pre-operative assessments for penile extension procedures.
Article Abstract
Objective: To establish a three-dimensional image of the penile suspensory ligament, and explore a stereoscopic and multi angle observation method of patient' s penile suspensory ligament.
Methods: This study selected the patients with small penis from our hospital as subjects. The participants were conducted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before operation. Afterwards, the results of MRI were imported into 3D reconstruction software (MIMICS 10.0), and the suspensory ligament of penis, the pubic symphysis and other related structures were reconstructed for observation.
Results: The pubic symphysis, penis and corpus spongiosum can be quite clearly displayed in the thin-section MRI images. In addition, penile suspensory with patchy distribution can be visible between lower part of ligament pubic symphysis and corpus cavernosum. Finally, we can reconstruct the three-dimensional structures through MIMICS 10.0, and then precisely describe the suspensory ligament's start-stop point, the angle with cavernous body of penis and the attached area in the corpus cavernosum penis.
Conclusion: Based on the MRI 3D reconstruction of deep penile suspensory ligament and adjacent structures, we can carry out dynamic, three-dimensional multi angle observation of patients deep penile suspensory ligament, and can use the reconstructed image to provide certain theory basis for the judgement of the corpus cavernosum penis extension length and penile suspensory ligament depth before penis extension operation.

BACKGROUND Perineal injuries affecting the scrotum and penis are rare in pediatric patients, owing to the protective anatomy of the male genitalia. However, when such injuries do occur, timely surgical intervention is crucial. This kind of damage might not be life-threatening but could cause functional disorders and have a huge impact on the patients' psychological condition if not treated appropriately, especially as they enter puberty.

Background: The penile suspensory ligament (PSL) plays a significant role in penile support and erection and its injury or congenital absence may result in functional impairment of erectile function.
Aim: To describe the diagnosis and surgical repair technique for PSL abnormalities and overall outcomes.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to understand the anatomic relevance of the PSL and historical management of PSL defects.
Repair of the Bulbospongiosus Muscle to Suspend the Penis to the Pubic Bones in Proximal Hypospadias.

Paediatric Urology Department, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9WL, United Kingdom.
Background: In proximal hypospadias, ventral curvature is invariable and most have penoscrotal transposition, and we observed that the base of the penis (BOP) was located on the inferior aspect of the pubic bones in those, in contrast to the location of the BOP at the anterior end in normal penises. We also observed an unfused bulbospongiosus muscle (BSM) at surgery in those. The aim was to assess the impact of repairing the unfused BSM or transection and straightening of the urethral plate at the first operation on the low BOP.

Article Synopsis
- Penile augmentation reflects human creativity in medical science, with a historical overview of enhancement methods such as snake bites, herbs, and traction therapy in ancient times.
- Modern techniques now include injectable fillers and grafting for increasing girth, while lengthening methods involve V-Y advancement and suspensory ligamentolysis.
- Despite potential size gains from these strategies, there are risks of complications and variable psychological effects on patient satisfaction.
The Role of Suprapubic Superficial Fascial System Reconstruction During Repair of Adult-Acquired Buried Penis.

Background: Adult-Acquired Buried Penis is a disorder associated with systemic obesity that confers increased risks of malignancy, sexual dysfunction, urinary abnormalities, and psychological distress. Surgical correction improves patient-reported functional and psychological outcomes and often requires collaboration between plastic and urologic surgeons. To improve postoperative cosmetic outcomes and decrease wound complications following adult-acquired buried penis repair, we performed an anatomic and histologic study of the superficial fascial layers providing support to the external male genitalia and describe our approach for fascial reconstruction.
