{"title":"Complex reimplantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis with scar tissue excision and distal corporal defect repair with Tutoplast® pericardium allograft","authors":"Kyle A. Blum, William Jones, Lauren Conroy, Justin Mehr, Travis Green, Run Wang","doi":"10.1002/uro2.24","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/uro2.24","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Background Patients with inflatable penile prostheses (IPP) may experience erosions after years of use or after indwelling Foley catheter placement. IPP erosions should be managed as an infection with the entire IPP removed. Replacing IPPs in erosion patients can be challenging due to extensive scarring development. Using proper graft materials may be necessary to close and reinforce the corporal defect after difficult corporal dilation or significant scar removal for the long‐term success of IPP reimplantation. Case Presentation Herein we report a patient with a history of IPP placement in 2007 for erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease, presenting in 2018 with dysuria and a feeling of IPP displacement following Foley catheter placement for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The left cylinder of the IPP was observed by physical examination and a defect near the fossa navicularis was discovered during office cystoscopy. A complete explantation of IPP was then performed. Reimplantation of the IPP was performed in 2021 which required excision of corporal scar tissue and repair of a left distal corporal defect using a Tutoplast® pericardium allograft. The procedure was successful with proper IPP position and good function without any penile deformity. Conclusion The use of graft materials in the management of corporeal defects should be considered in the setting of complex IPP revision. The Tutoplast® pericardium allograft reinforcement can provide long‐term durability, flexibility, and a lower risk of infection.","PeriodicalId":478044,"journal":{"name":"UroPrecision","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By fostering relationships with urological associations and experts worldwide, the society contributes to a global network of professionals united by a shared passion for advancing urological knowledge and patient care. Founded by eight urologists on February 22, 1902, the American Urological Association (AUA), has been holding annual meetings at which world-class urologists and uroscientists give state-of-the-art lectures and present new discoveries in plenary sessions, poster sessions, symposiums, and postgraduate courses. There are more than 20 000 urologists of Chinese descent in the world, and many have actively participated in the activities of the AUA. These Chinese urologists had become integral to the AUA's activities, actively contributing to its programs and initiatives. In 2005, Dr. Joseph N. Corriere Jr., the President of the AUA at the time, and Dr. Carl A. Olsson, the Secretary, championed a groundbreaking idea in response to the request of Dr. Tom F. Lue. Recognizing the contributions and potential of Chinese urologists, they authorized establishing a Chinese urology program within the annual AUA meeting. This visionary concept resonated deeply with Chinese urologists globally, igniting a wave of enthusiastic support.

We designed a survey to investigate the current diagnosis and management of emergency blunt urethral trauma to aid future dissemination of relevant concepts. Methods A 15‐item anonymous questionnaire was distributed via an online platform. It addressed items such as the cognition of how to diagnose of urethral trauma, optimal emergency management of a urethral trauma patient, and attitude towards early realignment for pelvic fracture urethral injuries. Results Of 538 respondents, 94.2% and 84.9% had received patients with straddle trauma urethral injuries or pelvic fracture urethral injuries, respectively, within the past year. In the emergency room, attempted urethral catheterization was the most selected examination method by respondents for diagnosis of both straddle injury (500/538) and pelvic fracture urethral injury (469/538). For patients with straddle injury, 41.3% of respondents performed endoscopic realignment and 31.6% preferred suprapubic cystostomy. For hemodynamically stable patients with PFUI, 42.2% of respondents preferred suprapubic cystostomy and 34.9% preferred endoscopic realignment. Most respondents felt favorably toward early realignment for pelvic fracture urethral injuries. After realignment, 61.3%, 24.5%, and 13.8% of respondents performed catheterization for 4, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively. Further, 54.6% of respondents believed catheter traction should be applied after realignment. Conclusion Although the number of yearly emergency urethral trauma cases was small, the opinions and practices of most urologists were consistent with guidelines. However, the significance of retrograde urethrography was not fully understood, and some respondents had incorrect views on catheter traction after realignment.","PeriodicalId":478044,"journal":{"name":"UroPrecision","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135729728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by the incapability to achieve conception following a year of consistent, unprotected intercourse, and its far‐reaching consequences can take a profound emotional, psychological, and social toll on couples, inducing feelings of melancholy, exasperation, and anxiety. The appraisal of infertile couples' cases is a multifaceted and daunting process, necessitating a holistic understanding of the intricate underlying factors contributing to their infertility. Consequently, an individualized evaluation should be conducted, considering diverse parameters, such as the couple's medical history, age, infertility duration, and other relevant criteria. This paper will provide an in‐depth overview of the current approaches utilized in the evaluation of men with infertility, including the commonly employed diagnostic tools and procedures. Enhancing our comprehension of infertility assessment and management holds the promise of helping couples achieve their ultimate desire of conceiving and enriching their overall quality of life.","PeriodicalId":478044,"journal":{"name":"UroPrecision","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136374229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
