INTRODUCTION A single-armed, prospective, multicenter international study evaluated the redesigned Coloplast Titan One Touch Release (OTR) pump inflatable penile prosthesis. The OTR pump has a unique release valve that permits deflation of the implant with one squeeze of opposing touch pads. AIMS To assess the impact of a new penile prosthesis design, the Titan OTR, on patient ease of operati...

A frequently unrecognized and potentially devastating form of penile strangulation is that caused by human hair. Hair tourniquet syndrome frequently occurs during the time period when post partum mothers are experiencing increased hair loss. The majority of cases are thought to be accidental, however possibility of child abuse should be considered in every case.

Introduction During I949, at the invitation of the Government of Southern Rhodesia, the author spent six months in that country undertaking a venereal diseases survey, specifically .to determine how new methods of treatment could, consistent with cost and local conditions, be extended to the African native. The project was financed by means of a grant from the Rhodesian State Lottery Trustees. ...

Various different objects have been reported to strangulate the penis. We reported on a patient who used metal radiator clamps for an extended period of time. Workup included history, physical examination and urinalysis. The patient was taken to the operating room for further evaluation with cystourethroscopy and orthopedic wire cutters were used to break the metal bands.

Introduction/Aims: We have studied the natural history of Peyronie’s disease with particular reference to erect (functional) penile length. To our knowledge this has so far not been documented. Methods: 21 men with stable Peyronie’s deformity were followed up for 6 months when no active treatment was being offered. By inducing an artificial erection objective assessments of penile length and de...

OBJECTIVE to demonstrate the possible effectiveness of a long-term multimodal medical therapy in patients with Peyronie's disease (PD) we carried out a controlled study on 82 patients diagnosed with PD, whereas in the scientific literature the conservative treatment of this disease is much discussed. METHODS 82 patients (mean age=53.6±10.1 years-range 23-68) diagnosed with PD were selected fo...

OBJECTIVE Penile syringomas are rare lesions usually occurring in isolation. We report the excision and reconstruction of multiple synchronous penile shaft syringomas with local scrotal flaps. METHODS We report a rare case of excision of multiple penile syringomas and reconstruction with scrotal flaps in a 29-year-old man. RESULTS Penile syringomas were excised and reconstructed with scrota...

CONTEXT Penis size is a great concern for men in many cultures. Despite the great variety of methods for penile augmentation, none has gained unanimous acceptance among experts in the field. However, in this era of minimally invasive procedure, injection therapy for penile augmentation has become more popular. Here we report a case of methacrylate injection in the penis that evolved with penile...

PURPOSE To evaluate the postoperative outcome of the multiple slit on plaque plication technique for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients who underwent plaque incision with penile plication for the surgical treatment of Peyronie's disease, who had failed medical treatment between 2009 and 2014. Patients were grouped by preoperativ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To assess in a prospective study whether shockwave therapy (SWT) is effective as a first-line treatment for Peyronie's disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty patients with previously untreated Peyronie's disease underwent SWT with the Epos overhead-module device (Dornier). The pain severity (visual analog pain scale [VAS] 0-5), the degree of penile angulation after vasoact...
