Given the absence of standardized treatments for HFS, LiSWT could serve as an additional tool in the treatment arsenal. The case involved a 36-year-old male presenting HFS, low libido, chronic pain, and erectile dysfunction. Treatment comprised phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5-I), physical therapy, and LiSWT. Following six sessions, the patient experienced regression of bothersome symptoms and improved erections. A 2-year follow-up revealed sustained symptom relief. LiSWT presents a non-invasive means of inducing mechanical stress and microtrauma in targeted tissues, fostering neovascularization and potentially enhancing blood supply. The integration of LiSWT with PDE5-I and physical therapy suggests a potential avenue for effective HFS management.

While treatment mirrors the general population’s, response rates are lower, and there is a heightened concern about implanting a penile prosthesis in immunocompromised patients due to the potential occurrence of severe complications. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of penile prostheses in this population. Among fourteen included studies, ten were case reports or series of cases, and four were non randomized case-control studies with non-transplanted patients as controls. Complications affected 34 patients (11.15%), with mechanical device failures in 18 cases (5.9%) and infections in 13 cases (4.26%). Most infections required hospitalization, antibiotic treatment, and prosthesis removal, with two cases of life-threatening Fournier’s gangrene. Case-control studies revealed no differences in overall reoperation rates between transplant recipients and controls. However, pelvic organ transplant recipients undergoing three-piece prosthesis implantation showed higher complications rates related to reservoir issues. Despite limited evidence, case-control studies demonstrated a generally low/moderate risk of bias within each specific domain, although overall bias was moderate/severe. As a result, clinicians may mitigate concerns regarding penile prosthesis implantation in solid organ transplant recipients.","PeriodicalId":14068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Impotence Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"18-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141723555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized this can be used quantitatively to assess erectile function. We conducted an observational clinical trial of this technique by performing thermographic imaging in the flaccid and erect state and compared these values with hemodynamic measurements performed by penile Doppler/duplex ultrasound (PDDU). We also hypothesized that in men with Peyronie’s disease (PD), the plaque would be visible on thermographic imaging and took thermographic measurements in this area for patients with PD. Any man scheduled to undergo PDDU in our urology clinic was approached for recruitment. PDDU was performed by one of two experienced urologists. We recruited 30 men for this study. Seven of these men had PD. The change in measured temperature between flaccid and erect states correlated significantly with the peak systolic velocity r = 0.46 (p = 0.025). In the seven men with PD the mean change in temperature of the plaque was +0.9 °C versus +2.1 °C in the normal penis (p = 0.28).
