OBJECTIVE To evaluate the change in penile size r bilateral nerve sparing retropubic radical prostatectomy (BNSRRP) and possible effect of Tadalafil. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 65 patients underwent BNSRRP and they were evaluated prospectively for a whole year of follow-up. The patients were randomized to control without rehabilitation (Group 1) or Tadalafil rehabilitation group (Group ...

INTRODUCTION Penile fracture is the most common presentation of acute penis. Rupture of the superficial dorsal penile vein (s) may mimic penile fractures with similar clinical presentation but with intact corporeal bodies. Our aim of the study is to highlight superficial dorsal penile vein (s) injury as true emergency with better prognosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Sixty-eight patients with suspe...

BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are sexually transmitted human carcinogens that may play a role in the oncogenesis of penile cancer. OBJECTIVES To investigate the role of HPV infection and expression of the tumour suppressor protein p16INK4A in the pathogenesis of penile cancer. METHODS By means of polymerase chain reaction amplification and reverse hybridization line probe assay t...

Two patients with penile skin loss who were operated in 1991 are reviewed retrospectively. In both of them skin grafting was mandatory (due to large skin defects on the penile shaft). Causative factors were localized infection in one case and verrucae accuminata in another. In both cases a random flap from the skin of the inner surface of the thigh was applied. The pedicle flap was later t...

INTRODUCTION Loss of penile size is a common complaint that can negatively affect patient satisfaction rates following successful penile prosthetic implant surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to describe the various strategies that have been used to maintain penile length or girth after the insertion of a penile prosthetic implant. METHODS An extensive systematic literature review ...

BACKGROUND Penile coital injuries are one of the suggested mechanisms behind the increased risk of HIV among uncircumcised men. We evaluated the prevalence and correlates of self-reported penile coital injuries in a longitudinal community-based cohort of young (18-24 years old), newly circumcised and uncircumcised men in Western Kenya. METHODS Self-reported penile coital injuries were assesse...

A 39-year-old male patient presented with an extensive putrescent ulceration of abdominoperineal region infiltrated by advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, it is the largest defect after aggressive palliative resection of penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) in the literature, which was 36×23 cm. The defect was divided into three sub-defects, and was repaired by bil...

INTRODUCTION Penile size continues to receive popular and empirical attention. Little is known about the process of self-measurement and whether the behaviors a man engages in to become erect for self-measurement are associated with his erect penile dimensions. AIMS The article aims to assess men's erect penile dimensions in a study in which the men would presumably be motivated to report acc...
