Purpose:We investigated the long-term survival and patient satisfaction with an inflatable penile prosthesis as a treatment for refractory erectile dysfunction (ED).Materials Methods: Between July 1997 September 2014, total of 74 patients underwent implantation prosthesis.The present mechanical status was ascertained by telephone interview review medical records, related clinical factors were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard regression model.To investigate current devices, novel...
Study Type – Therapy (RCT) Level of Evidence 1b What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Avanafil is a potent selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor newly developed for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Preclinical clinical phase I studies showed that avanafil had enhanced selectivity, faster onset action favourable side‐effect profile relative to currently available PDE5 inhibitors. As result III trial efficacy safety treatment (100 200 mg), taken as needed over...
Purpose:We examined the correlation between body mass index (BMI) as a marker of obesity and prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume (PV), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Materials Methods: From January 2008 to December 2008, we 258 diagnosed BPH.Patients taking 5α-reductase inhibitors or those cancer were excluded from this study.BPH was defined PV≥25 ml IPSS≥8.BMI (kg/m 2 ) categorized into 4 groups follows: BMI＜18.5...
In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and perception of premature ejaculation (PE) in young middle-aged Korean men.The study was conducted using an Internet-assisted questionnaire.A total 2 037 male adults, aged 20 years or older, were randomly sampled based on age residency.The questionnaire developed by PE Study Group Andrological Society includes four categories (overall sexual function, symptoms, distress treatment) with a 16 questions.For each question, symptoms...
We evaluated the effectiveness of microsurgical ligation for painful varicocele and predictive factors pain resolution.Between January 2006 March 2009, a total 114 patients (mean age, 30.2 ± 8.9 years), who underwent inguinal varicocelectomy varicocele, were included followed up 1 year after surgery. The quantity preoperative postoperative was assessed by means 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS). retrospectively analyzed outcome surgical resolution using patient height, weight, body mass...
To evaluate the actual impact of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on patients with lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS), without benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) medication.Two hundreds forty-six underwent TRT using intramuscular injection 3 months bases 100 mg undecanoate over a year. Among them, 17 had moderate LUTS maximal flow rate at least 10 ml/s but did not take any BPH-specific medication during TRT. The changes in specific antigen (PSA), International Prostate Symptom Score...
Purpose: According to previous studies, the prevalence of premature ejaculation (PE) in Korea ranges from 11.3% 33%.However, actual practice patterns managing patients with PE is not well known.In this study, we have endeavored determine how contemporary urologists manage PE. Materials and Methods: The e-mailing list was obtained Korean Urological Association Registry Physicians.A specifically designed questionnaire e-mailed 2,421 May 2012 August 2012.Results: Urologists diagnosed using...
This study was undertaken to determine the impact on ejaculatory function of tamsulosin (0.2 mg) given once daily (OD) for 12 weeks and identify risk factors dysfunction in patients undergoing this treatment.Males with an International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) o8 were enrolled study.All participants completed questionnaires, including IPSS Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ), serum prostate-specific antigen, transrectal ultrasound uroflowmetry post-void residual measured.After...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects electromagnetic field radiation on sperm count, morphology, histological structure testes, and hormonal level rats exposed microwave radiation. Thirty male Sprague- Dawley (4 weeks age) were a 2.45 GHz EMF for 1 hour or 2 hours day. A sham-exposed group served as control. whole body average specific absorption rate (SAR) is 1.41W/Kg electric intensity 60.1mV/m. Germ cell apoptosis in testis assessed by histopathological examination...
Purpose: To evaluate how much the improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) affects sexual function and which storage or voiding have greatest effect on function.Materials Methods: A total 187 patients were enrolled in this study.Patients randomly assigned to receive either tamsulosin 0.2 mg (group A) solifenacin 5 B).At 4 weeks 12 weeks, LUTS evaluated by use International Index Erectile Function-5 (IIEF5), Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder (OABSS) questionnaire,...
Though prompt diagnosis to minimize symptom duration (SD) is highly associated with organ salvage in cases of testicular torsion (TT), SD subjective and hard determine. We thus investigated the clinical implications systemic inflammatory responses (SIRs) as potential surrogates improve testis survival.Sixty men TT that underwent immediate operation among orchiectomy orchiopexy following a visit single emergency department were retrospectively enrolled. Mandatory laboratory tests conducted...
Purpose: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) using bipolar electrocautery and 0.9% saline is a new technology in field surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This randomized prospective study was conducted to compare efficacy safety Gyrus Plasmasect loop TURP conventional monopolar treatment BPH.
