Forty-four men aged 20-56 years (mean 42) complaining a venous erectile dysfunction underwent penile venous surgery. Fifteen patients (34.1%) were treated by DDVL, 29 cases (65.9%) underwent DDVL + corporopexy. All patients were followed-up at short and long-term periods. In short-term follow-up, eight patients (57.2%) of 15 treated by DDVL showed spontaneous erection, six patients (42.8%) showed persistent erectile dysfunction. In long-term follow-up, four patients of this group (28.6%) showed spontaneous erection. The others, 10 patients (71.4%), were then treated by other therapeutical alternatives. Twenty-two patients (75.8%) of 29 operated with DDVL + corporopexy showed spontaneous erection in short-term follow-up. After one year, in long-term follow-up, whereas total 15 patients (51.7%) of them were obtaining full erection, the others required other forms of treatments. In both groups in a long-term follow-up, total 19 patients of 43 (44.2%) showed full spontaneous erection, four patients (9.3%) needed intracavernous injection and six patients (13.9%) were treated with penile prosthetic implants. A total of 29 patients (67.4%) were able to have acceptable sexual intercourse. We concluded that venous surgery is still useful in selected patients having no better therapeutical alternatives.

Background And Aim: As a classical formula to invigorate blood circulation, Huoxue Tongluo Qiwei Decoction (HTQD) can effectively treat hypertensive erectile dysfunction (ED), but its exact mechanism of action is not yet clear. The goal of this research was to explore the potential mechanism of HTQD in improving hypertensive erectile dysfunction in rats through transcriptomics, network pharmacology, and associated animal experimentations.
Methods: The HTQD chemical constituents were screened using high-performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

Background: Stuttering priapism is characterized by recurrent, self-limited episodes of penile erection lasting from a few minutes to a maximum of three hours, often resolving spontaneously. These episodes can occur with or without sexual stimulation. If not treated promptly and effectively, stuttering priapism can severely impact a patient's quality of life, leading to significant psychological distress and anxiety related to sexual performance.

The failure of achieving a penile erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse is known as erectile dysfunction (ED). The primary mediator for penile erection is nitric oxide (NO). ED is often associated with endothelial/nitrergic dysfunction characterized by a reduction of the bioavailability of NO.

Article Synopsis
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common and requires monitoring of penile tumescence and rigidity during nighttime erections for accurate diagnosis, but existing devices are bulky and interfere with erections.
- A new wearable system called WARM uses an elastic dual-ring sensor that doesn't apply active loads, allowing for precise tracking of erections without compromising comfort.
- The WARM system has been tested for consistency against standard devices and supports uninterrupted monitoring during sleep, making it a promising solution for improving ED assessment.
Purpose: To answer the question of whether it is possible to achieve complete corporal covering of the urethral closure using incomplete penile disassembly in classic bladder exstrophy. We hypothesize that mobilization of the corpora under Buck's fascia, their dorsal translocation through the incisions in Buck's fascia and suturing corporal convex sides above the urethra would allow extend corporal covering of the urethra, reducing the risk of urethra-cutaneous fistula formation.
Materials And Methods: A prospective follow-up on all boys who underwent the modified Cantwell-Ransley primary penile reconstruction was conducted.
