Background: Penile prosthetic devices are the standard treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) after failure of maximum medical therapy and conservative options. Several penile lengthening procedures (PLPs) can be performed concurrently with penile prosthesis (PP) insertion in patients with severe ED, penile shortening, and/or Peyronie's disease to help combat negative emotional and psychological concerns from penile length loss with penile prosthetic device placement. Methods: An extensive, systematic literature review of the various pre-, intra-, and post-operative techniques that can be applied to preserve, restore or enhance penile length at the time of penile prosthetic implantation. Results: Numerous pre-operative and post-operative inflation protocols exists with vacuum erection devices and penile traction therapy. Intraoperative surgical techniques include cavernosal sparing and channeling without dilatation, subcoronal incision with circumferential penile degloving and grafting, the sliding technique, the modified sliding technique, the multiple-slit technique, the tunical expansion procedure (TEP), modified TEP, and the auxetic expansion procedure. These approaches can be meaningful to restore and/or preserve length for patients undergoing PP insertion. Conclusions: PLPs can be performed by surgeons who have extensive penile reconstruction experience and have been trained to do these procedures, as there is significant risk to the patient and limitations to what can be expected. Each patient must be counseled in detail about the risks and benefits of these procedures and have their expectations managed as the average postoperative penile length recovery is around 3 cm and can range from 0-4.0 cm. Future research is needed to identify the appropriate candidate for each approach, and how much length gain the patient can expect.
RESUMEN
Over the years, numerous non-surgical and surgical treatment options have been explored for Peyronie's disease. Current options may result in incomplete correction of the deformity, which can be bothersome to the patient. This is a two-center case series of three patients who had previously undergone treatment for Peyronie's disease. Patient 1 underwent plication with extratunical grafting. Patient 2 underwent a series of Xiaflex® injections and then subsequent surgical plication for residual curvature. Patient 3 underwent a series of Xiaflex® injections. The Himplant® subcutaneous silicone penile prosthesis was placed in a standardized manner through a scrotal incision in all cases to mask residual penile deformities and enhance penile girth after Peyronie's disease treatment. Patients were contacted and asked 18 questions regarding satisfaction and erectile function with the responses recorded. This pilot study presents findings of high patient satisfaction, increases in flaccid penile length and girth, and an acceptable profile of adverse events following Himplant® placement. Based on our limited experience, we would consider offering Himplant® implantation when residual curvature is <40° and the penile indentation does not cause instability/buckling during penetrative sexual activity. Further research and larger studies are warranted to validate these findings and assess long-term outcomes and patient-reported satisfaction.
RESUMEN
Background: The increasing popularity of the silicone sleeve penile implant has been accompanied by concerns over potential risks and adverse events. Objectives: To provide multi-institutional data on safety outcomes in patients undergoing silicone sleeve penile implant surgery across high-volume implant surgeons. In addition, we discuss preventative techniques to minimize postoperative complications and the management of these events. Design and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of men undergoing penile silicone sleeve implants between November 2020 and November 2022 with four surgeons, each from a separate institution. Perioperative and postoperative adverse events, including unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes requiring revision, were determined by physician follow-up. Flaccid penile length and girth were measured preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: A total of 299 male patients underwent silicone sleeve implant surgery, with an average age of 42.5 ± 10.5 years and an average body mass index of 28.5 ± 4.0. The patient cohort exhibited minimal comorbidities, with 5% having hyperlipidemia, 2% being smokers, 2% having cardiovascular disease, and 1% having diabetes. Patients experienced an average increase of 4.1 ± 1.5 cm in their flaccid penile length (a 50% increase) and an average increase of 3.4 ± 1.5 cm in their flaccid girth (a 37% increase) (p < 0.01). Complication rates included new-onset postoperative erectile dysfunction (0%), infection (1.3%), seroma (2.0%), and erosion (5.0%). The average follow-up time was 11.6 months. Notably, our rates of infection and seroma were lower than those reported in a previous single-center review, while erosion rates were higher. Conclusion: This is the largest study to characterize the safety of the penile silicone sleeve implant across multiple institutions. In men who desire cosmetic size augmentation, silicone sleeve implant surgery is associated with significantly increased flaccid penile length and girth. Complications are mainly cosmetic and may be corrected; however, patients should be appropriately counseled on the risk of erosion, which appears to be higher than previously reported.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Priapism is a urological condition characterized by a persistent erection. The management varies based on its subclassifications. Despite established clinical guidelines for ischemic priapism, there is a lack of large-scale research focused on patient characteristics and management strategies. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the contemporary management of ischemic priapism in the US, exploring patient demographics and clinical characteristics, as well as predictors of erectile dysfunction (ED) and penile prosthesis implantation (PPI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of the PearlDiver Mariner database, reviewing records from 2010-2021. Adult males diagnosed with ischemic priapism were included. Data analysis covered demographic, clinical variables, and management strategies. Predictors of de novo ED and PPI were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of 36,120 patients, most (93%) received only medical management, and a minority underwent surgical interventions (penile shunt surgery [PSS], PPI or both). Medical management was typically effective, as 67.08% of the patients in this group experienced only one episode of priapism. However, de novo ED occurred in 16.57% of these patients. The majority of patients undergoing PPI had an inflatable prosthesis (81%). Older age (odds ratio, OR 1.02), the presence of metabolic diseases (OR 1.39), neurogenic disorders (OR 1.72), solid pelvic malignancies (OR 1.09), and multiple episodes of priapism were identified as significant predictors of de novo ED (all p < 0.05). Similarly, age (OR 1.03), the presence of metabolic diseases (OR 1.23), solid pelvic malignancies (OR 1.99), and multiple episodes of priapism were associated with higher likelihood of PPI (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Most cases of ischemic priapism are managed with the medical therapy. Less than 3% of patients with ischemic priapism receive PPI, and when this occurs an inflatable prosthesis is favored. Age, specific comorbidities, and multiple episodes of priapism appear to be significant predictors of ED and PPI.
