Penile prosthesis surgery (PPS) is a commonly used treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), either as first-line therapy or in cases refractory to other options. In patients with urologic malignancy such prostate cancer, surgical interventions like radical prostatectomy (RP) well non-surgical treatments radiation can all induce ED. PPS ED has high satisfaction rates the general population. Our aim was compare sexual implantation following RP versus cancer.A retrospective chart review from...
Abstract Metastatic neoplasms to the sinonasal tract are rare. Here, we report case of a 74-year-old woman with no notable oncological history, presenting emergency department 3-week history intermittent epistaxis. CT and MRI revealed right-sided mass histopathological analysis revealing cells clear cell renal carcinoma origin. Full-body 4.9-cm L for which cytoreductive nephrectomy was performed after immunotherapy. The patient experienced recurrence 14 months from initial discovery, they...
Placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) in a transgender patient's neophallus carries unique considerations versus cis-gender IPP placement mitigating infection, erosion, and overall complication rates. An example this includes the lack anatomical corpus cavernosum crura for cylinder anchoring. Multiple grafting approaches materials have been utilized to mitigate possible instability improve Here we describe our experience surgical technique utilizing single with distal proximal...
Abstract Introduction Medications, namely antiplatelets (AP) and anticoagulation (AC), are effective at avoiding fatal vascular complications prolonging the lives of our patients. As such, more men seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) also take blood thinners. This is an interaction we must better understand to provide safe, individualized care patients minimize peri-operative morbidity. Currently, there no published information on whether differences exist in escalation with AC....
Abstract Introduction Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and bulbourethral male sling are used frequently in the management of post prostatectomy incontinence (UI) men. Some surgeons to combine an inflatable Penile Prosthesis (IPP) procedure at same setting treat concurrent erectile dysfunction (ED). Recent clinical trials have aimed determine comparative effectiveness between artificial men with urodynamic stress (SUI) after prostate surgery, focusing on non-inferiority. Objective We aim...

Abstract Introduction Inflatable Penile Prosthesis (IPP) implantation as a treatment for ED has high satisfaction rates in the general population; however, there is limited literature on quantification of complication stratified by etiology. Objective Our aim was to compare mechanical failure and infection patients undergoing IPP following Radical Prostatectomy (RP) versus radiation therapy (RT) prostate cancer. Methods A retrospective chart review from our institutional database conducted...

Abstract Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication post salvage radical prostatectomy (RP). Yet, there scant data in the literature on rates and patient satisfaction those that undergo inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion (RP) following targeted radiotherapy for treatment of localized prostate cancer. It understood these patients have higher rate complications as they experienced both radiation adverse events which could alter their overall after prosthetic...
Abstract Introduction Corporal tissue ingrowth into previously implanted cylinder is a rare but possible issue encountered during penile prosthesis (PP) revision surgery. To prevent aneurysms, middle layer of woven and expandable polypropylene-like material was incorporated the implant design in 1987. While outer silicone usually prevents its contact with tissue, cases ruptured cylinders, there risk cavernous exposed layer. Collagen deposition within inflammatory tongue can lead to...
Abstract Applying for a urology residency as medical student can be very intimidating. The goal of this study is to help provide the framework understanding process becoming urologist in United States. This begins with learning about field urology, including what they do, breadth specialty, length training, and career satisfaction/hours. Following this, it important explore firsthand when deciding on specialty. done through many avenues shadowing clinic setting or operating room, doing...

Intracavernosal injection therapy (ICI) is an effective intervention used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It has been proposed that caution should be exercised when prescribing ICI patients currently taking anticoagulants (AC) due the theoretical increased risk of bleeding, however, there limited literature describing complication rates actively anticoagulated utilizing ICI.We sought determine whether was a difference in bleeding and other complications cohort using with or without...
BACKGROUND: One of the best predictors positive outcomes in bladder cancer (BC) is pT0 following radical cystectomy (RC). Discordance between clinical and pathologic staging affects decision-making patients with absence disease (cT0). OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether a restaging transurethral resection tumor (re-TURBT) improves accuracy relative stage RC treated neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) versus those who did not receive NAC. METHODS: queried our prospectively maintained IRB...
Abstract Background Patients with inflatable penile prostheses (IPP) may experience erosions after years of use or indwelling Foley catheter placement. IPP should be managed as an infection the entire removed. Replacing IPPs in erosion patients can challenging due to extensive scarring development. Using proper graft materials necessary close and reinforce corporal defect difficult dilation significant scar removal for long‐term success reimplantation. Case Presentation Herein we report a...
