Implantation of inflatable penile prosthesis should be considered as a definitive treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, the sole procedure might not allow for optimal dimensional and functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature and present the findings on the optimal choice of perioperative methods, surgical techniques, and pharmacotherapy to improve penile length, curvature, and erectile function.

Objective: To evaluate whether supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) may be a viable alternative to radiation therapy (RT) for patients with glottic cT3N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who are surgical candidates for total laryngectomy (TL) and respond well to platinum-based induction chemotherapy.
Methods: Retrospective case series review of 18 consecutive patients with cT3N0M0 glottic SCC, initially considered surgical candidates only for TL who showed a good response to platinum-based induction chemotherapy, managed at a French university teaching institution with either SCPL (n = 9) or RT (n = 9). The main endpoints were 10-year local control and laryngeal preservation.

Objective: To undertake a meta-analysis of cohort studies to evaluate sex-based differences for patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
Methods: A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library (2000-2023) for studies reporting sex-related discrepancies in clinical presentation, and/or in-hospital management, and/or outcomes. Study effects were assessed utilizing mean difference or risk ratio (RR) as aggregated estimates.
