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...

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 transe...

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...

OBJECTIVES Controversial data on penile length after radical retropubic prostatectomy are available. We hypothesised that postoperative penile size correlates to erectile function following bilateral nerve-sparing radical retropubic prostatectomy (BNSRRP). METHODS Thirty-three consecutive patients with a preoperative erectile function domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (II...

INTRODUCTION Penile cancer is rare, often presenting in later stages. We sought to determine if factors potentially related to access to care were associated with worse outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all patients with the diagnosis of penile cancer over a 14 year period at the only tertiary referral center in the state. We collected data on multiple factors potential...

BACKGROUND Penile injuries are uncommon. The more severe injuries are often difficult to manage. OBJECTIVES We report our experience with penile injuries from different causes and treatment options available. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed retrospectively 23 cases of penile injuries presenting to the Urology Unit of a tertiary hospital in the Southeastern part of Nigeria from January 2007...

Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors, which can occur sporadically or in patients with neurofibromatosis. Schwannomas of the penis are extremely rare. To our knowledge, only 18 cases of penile schwannomas have been reported previously in the English-language literature. Here we report two additional cases of penile schwannomas, including one case of multiple penile schwannomas. The first ...

BACKGROUND Although penile cancer is a rare malignancy in developed nations, racial and socioeconomic differences exist in the incidence of the disease and its associated survival-related outcomes. METHODS A search of the literature was performed for research published between the years 1990 and 2015. Case reports and non-English-language articles were excluded, instead focusing specifically ...
