Objective: : To review the literature on adult penile reconstruction due to Peyronie's disease, trauma and cosmesis, while emphasising specific surgical techniques and procedures such as phalloplasty, radial forearm free flap reconstruction, and penile transplant. Methods: : A comprehensive review of the literature for the years 1992-2020 of the PubMed and SpringerLink databases was performed to identify articles on penile reconstruction. Search terms included 'penile reconstruction', 'penile trauma', 'phalloplasty', 'penile transplant', and 'treatment of Peyronie's'. Relevant articles were selected. All included studies were performed on adults and written in English. Results: : We were able to identify 46 papers from PubMed and SpringerLink that included the research terms. From these, we included technical details of procedures and gleaned photographs of their works. Additionally, we included photographs from our institution's own plication surgery cases. Conclusions: : The field of adult penile reconstruction is performed for a plethora of reasons. From cosmetic to urgent and from routine to complex, it is most certainly a growing subset of Urology that plays a vital role for the men who need it. To our knowledge, this is the most up-to -date review of adult penile reconstruction.
extrusion. We also demonstrate an encounter with a retained rear tip and our management approach in that scenario.RESULTS: Our video successfully demonstrates our intraoperative techniques and surgical approach during IPP revision procedures. It also highlights our experience with postoperative cylinder extrusion from 2017-2021.CONCLUSIONS: Our surgical approach during IPP revision using distal corporotomies and long-acting absorbable sutures for corporotomy closure aims to reduce the risk of potential cylinder extrusion. That technique was developed based on our own experience with this complication.
Introduction Penile imaging for Peyronie's disease (PD) can be challenging. Traditional cross-sectional imaging modalities such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can delineate and characterize pathological penile anomalies; however, limitation in imaging interpretations do exist. Optimal imaging of the penis aids in surgical planning and patient counseling. Objective In this study, we aim to utilize a novel three-dimensional (3D) MRI fusion penile imaging modality for men undergoing surgical reconstruction for PD. Methods Men with PD, palpable plaques, and deformed corpora were included in this study. We obtained preoperative cross-sectional MRI penile images and Sexual Health Inventory for Men Questionnaire (SHIM) scores on all included patients. We fused MRI images with Ceevra (Ceevra, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA) 3D imaging software to develop detailed imaging aiding surgical reconstruction. 3D models were used for preoperative patient counseling and surgical planning as well as intraoperatively. Results A total of six patients were included, 3 African American men and 3 White men. The mean age was 65 and mean BMI was 35. There was no difference in preoperative SHIM scores (4 severe and 2 mild erectile dysfunction). Preoperative MRI images were fused with Ceevra software to develop detailed 3D models of corporal plaques and its related structures. The 3D models were easily accessible to surgeons during preoperative clinic visits and at time of reconstruction (Figure 1). Conclusions In this study, 3D MRI fusion penile imaging for PD has emerged as a potential preoperative advanced imaging modality useful for preoperative counseling and planning, especially in complex PD cases. Further evaluation is prerequisite to evaluate its potential role in aiding intraoperative decision making. Disclosure No
Introduction Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) is postulated to have physiologic effects including neo-angiogenesis, upregulation of vasoactive endothelial growth factors, nerve recovery, reduction of fibrotic changes, cavernosal tissue remodeling, and reduction in sympathetic tone. To date, randomized clinical trials have failed to demonstrate a change in penile curvature, with mixed results on erectile function, in Peyronie's disease (PD) patients. Objective To evaluate the treatment effect of Li-ESWT for amelioration of PD-associated fibrosis and PD-associated erectile dysfunction using a rat model of PD. Methods 32 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided evenly into four groups: sham (S), control (T), low setting Li-ESWT (TL), and high setting Li-ESWT (TH). Normal saline was injected into the tunica albuginea (TA) of the sham group. Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-B1) was injected into the TA of the remaining groups to induce Peyronies-like fibrosis. After 5 weeks of TGF-B1 induction, treatment with Li-ESWT shockwave (UroGold 100™) was initiated. Treatment was delivered biweekly for 3 weeks (6 total sessions). Device settings were 600 shocks at 3 Hz, at level 6 (0.093 mJ/mm2) for the Low group and at level 12 (0.125 mJ/mm2) for the High group. Two weeks after the end of treatment, erectile function was measured by ratio of intracavernosal pressure (ICP) to mean arterial pressure (MAP). Histological analysis by H&E and Trichrome staining was performed. Western blot analysis of Collagens I (COL1A1), III (COL3A1), elastin, alpha-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA), and TGF-B1 was performed. Results There was no significant difference demonstrated in erectile function between T control group and TL and TH groups (P > 0.05). However, there seems to be a trend in decreased amount of fibrosis upon examination of the prepared histologic sections. Animals in the TL and TH groups had decreased COL1A1, COL3A1, elastin, and TGF-B1 expression in the TA compared to the T group. a-SMA expression in the treatment groups was found to be increased compared to both S and T groups. Conclusions Our preliminary data shows that Li-ESWT treatments, at different intensities, may decrease fibrosis induced by TGF-B1 TA injections. Additionally, Li-ESWT was not found to have conclusive positive effects on erectile function.
