Background: Penile length and girth have long been sources of anxiety for men.
Objectives: The authors sought to measure satisfaction with intercourse and erectile function 3 and 6 months after girth augmentation in patients with semi-rigid penile implants who received autologous fat injections.
Methods: Thirty married participants in Egypt were recruited and divided into 2 groups between January 2016 and August 2017. Fifteen patients who underwent semi-rigid penile implant insertion and 15 controls all received autologous fat injections and were followed-up for 3 and 6 months.
Results: Median penile girth increased significantly in both groups, although fat loss was noted after 6 months. There was a positive correlation between the amount of fat injected and the change in penile girth measured 6 months after the procedure in the controls.
Conclusions: Autologous fat transfer is a simple and safe procedure that can be used to augment penile girth in patients whose girth is less than 11.5 cm after penile prosthesis insertion.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed in-hospital outcomes and trends for patients with low-flow and high-flow priapism using data from Germany's nationwide inpatient records between 2008-2021.
- It included a total of 6,588 low-flow and 729 high-flow priapism cases, revealing an increase in low-flow cases requiring hospitalization and a decline in high-flow cases over recent years.
- The findings indicated that 22.4% of low-flow patients required shunt surgery, especially among those with sickle cell disease, while high-flow cases were primarily managed conservatively, showing no significant differences in hospital stay or complications related to treatment.

Hard flaccid syndrome (HFS) is a rather rare, acquired clinical entity affecting young men's well-being, sexual and social life. HFS presents with a cluster of symptoms including penile-specific somatosensory disturbances, a semi-rigid penis at the flaccid state without any stimulation or desire, erectile dysfunction, perineal and/or penile pain, associated urinary symptoms, emotional distress as well as other psychosocial and stress-related manifestations. Although its pathophysiology is still not well understood, initial penile trauma causing minor nerve and vascular disturbances to the penis and associated pelvic floor musculature is suggested to trigger the syndrome.

Management of the posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a clinical challenge in pediatric urology. We report the results of a modified valve ablation method without using a pediatric resectoscope and thermal energy. Patients were selected from children with PUV who were referred to the pediatric urology clinic of Shahid Labbafinejad Hospital, Tehran, Iran, and have undergone endoscopic valve ablation surgery between May 2019 to May 2021.
