Plaque incision and graft (PIG) is suggested for the treatment of significant Peyronie's disease (PD), but most surgeons perform very few PIG surgeries annually, and the number of PD cases requiring PIG is inadequate to maintain the necessary skills and completely master the procedure.

Human placental stem cells (PSC) enhance histological and functional recovery in a rodent erectile dysfunction (ED) model. We tested the hypothesis that bioactive factors secreted by PSC (i.e. the secretome) mediate functional recovery and that acellular conditioned media from PSC culture (PSC-CM) could be used independently to facilitate functional and histological recovery.

Background: Treatment recommendations of penile cancers are determined primarily by the local extent of the primary tumor. Clinical palpation is used for local staging. Objective: We reviewed diagnostic performance of MRI in local staging of penile cancer in three clinical scenarios (Q1-Q3]) and one imaging scenario (Q4).

Background Penile cancer is a rare malignancy usually requiring surgery to achieve oncological control of the primary tumour but often at the expense of functional length. The presenting stage of the primary is a crucial factor in determining the most appropriate surgical procedure.

To provide an overview of the state of tissue engineering relative to male erectile tissue and the implications for treatment of penile pathology.

A PubMed review of the relevant peer-reviewed literature pertaining to engineering of penile tissues was performed.

INTRODUCTION - Muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and other SCs implanted into the penile corpora cavernosa ameliorate erectile dysfunction in type 1 diabetic rat models by replenishing lost corporal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and decreasing fibrosis.

Tamsulosin is the most potent adrenergic alpha-1 antagonist used for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Priapism has been reported as a rare side effect through direct inhibition of the sympathetic input necessary for detumesence.

Penile cancer is one of the male-specific cancers. Accurate pretreatment staging is crucial due to a plethora of treatment options currently available. The 8th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer-Tumor Node and Metastasis (AJCC-TNM) revised the staging for penile cancers, with invasion of corpora cavernosa upstaged from T2 to T3 and invasion of urethra downstaged from T3 to being not separately relevant.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - The appropriate treatment of penile cancer requires an accurate assessment of pathological stage and grade.
