Twenty-four men aged 20-67 years (mean 42 years) were examined by selective arteriography for secondary impotence. The angiographic technique used as well as the normal anatomy and its variations are described. Arterial occlusive disease of vessels leading to the penis and the corpora cavernosa was found in 71% of the patients examined. This high incidence of arterial occlusive disease corresponds with the findings of other authors. The significance of these findings is discussed. In our limited experience of 3 patients, arterial anastomosis from the inferior epigastric artery to the corpora cavernosa has not been successful.

Multi-Institutional Analysis of Surgery for Lichen Sclerosus Induced Penile Urethral Stricture: Establishing Single-Stage Urethroplasty as a Primary Treatment Option.
J Urol
January 2025
Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta.
Introduction: Ideal treatment of lichen sclerosus (LS) induced penile urethral strictures (PUS) remains elusive. The objective of this study is to compare multi-institutional outcomes of single-stage urethroplasty (SSU) with oral mucosal graft (OMG), staged urethroplasty and perineal urethrostomy (PU) for treatment of LS induced PUS.
Methods: Multi-institutional analysis was performed at 9 centers on males undergoing SSU, staged urethroplasty or PU for LS induced PUS.
Preservation of sexual function with Optilume-a novel treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
J Sex Med
January 2025
The Center for Men's Health Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, IL 60153, United States.
Background: The Optilume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) catheter system is a novel minimally invasive paclitaxel-coated dilation system that has demonstrated substantial and durable results in urinary flow and symptoms.
Aim: We now assess the impact of Optilume BPH procedure on sexual function.
Methods: Prior published results have described the methods of data collection during the PINNACLE study, which demonstrated durable improvement in urinary symptoms.
Comparison of the effectiveness of 2 shockwave therapy protocols for the treatment of vascular erectile dysfunction: a randomized, multicenter, open-label, noninferiority, phase 4 clinical trial.

Elexial Research Limited, Boston Medical, Department of Clinical Research, Mexico City 11000, Mexico.
Background: Shockwave therapy is an optional adjuvant treatment for vascular erectile dysfunction (ED). There is variability in treatment protocols and challenges with patients adherence to the weekly protocol, which is the most commonly used.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the noninferiority of a monthly shockwave therapy protocol compared to the weekly protocol for treating vascular ED.
Comparing the efficacy of tadalafil and tamsulosin for managing erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms in prostate brachytherapy patients: a prospective study.
Prostate Int

Department of Urology, Keio University, School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction: Adverse events, such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), are significant concerns in prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with Iodine 125 (I-125) low-dose rate (LDR) prostate brachytherapy (PB). Alpha antagonists and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors are used to manage these events. The present study compared the efficacy of low-dose tadalafil with that of tamsulosin for concomitant ED and LUTS in PCa patients treated with I-125 LDR PB.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland which surrounds the urethra. For men with BPH who are older than 50, a prostatectomy is a common surgical procedure. Open prostatectomy is still more prevalent in regions with limited access to advanced surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate and robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
