This study aims to assess the accuracy of automatic atlas-based contours for various key anatomical structures in prostate radiotherapy treatment planning. The evaluated structures include the bladder, rectum, prostate, seminal vesicles, femoral heads and penile bulb. CT images from 20 patients who underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy were randomly chosen to create an atlas library. Atlas contours of the seven anatomical structures were generated using four software packages: ABAS, Eclipse, MIM, and RayStation...

Zinner syndrome comprises a triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction, which can be accompanied by additional abnormalities of the genitourinary tract in some cases. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with urinary, reproductive, and/or local pain symptoms. Diagnosis is most commonly achieved via MRI. Here, we present the case of an 18-year-old male previously diagnosed with unilateral renal agenesis, who presented with testicular and penile pain, along with urinary urgency and frequency...

INTRODUCTION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Urethral duplication is a congenital anomaly characterized by the partial or full development of an auxiliary urethra as a second urethral channel varying in extent and location. The course of treatment for urethral duplication should be individualized for each patient based on the type of anomaly and the existence of symptoms. In most cases, if the ventral orthotopic urethra is normal, excision of the dorsal auxiliary urethra is almost always curative...

OBJECTIVES: Penile carcinoma (PC) is a rare disease with considerable physical and psychological impact. To date, there is no data regarding PC prevalence and characteristics in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of patients with PC in Indonesia and determine cumulative survival rates and time to disease progression. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of all patients diagnosed with PC at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from 1995 to 2014, with a minimum of 1 year follow-up...

BACKGROUND: Reviews on Down syndrome do not or only marginally address the issue of kidney and urogenital tract abnormalities, and lower urinary tract dysfunctions. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis of the literature.  METHODS: A literature search was undertaken in the Library of Medicine, Web of Science and Excerpta Medica. The search algorithm combined various keywords: (Down syndrome OR trisomy 21 OR mongolism) AND (kidney OR urinary tract OR bladder) AND (malformation OR dysfunction OR anomaly OR abnormality OR size)...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of applying 5% lidocaine cream to the sensitive area of the glans penis after its precise localization under the penile biological vibration threshold test for the treatment of primary premature ejaculation. METHODS: Eighty patients diagnosed with primary premature ejaculation in an outpatient setting were included in this study. They were randomly scored into two groups. Group 1 (n = 40) was given 1 ml of 5% lidocaine cream on demand...

INTRODUCTION: High-flow priapism is rare, uncontrolled arterial inflow, preceded by penile or perineal trauma and arterial-lacunar fistula. There are several ways to treat high-flow priapism, i.e., conservative management, the use of ice packs, mechanical decompression, surgery, and super-selective arterial embolization. Embolization is currently widely accepted in patients who fail from conservative management. This study aimed to report the use of Gelfoam and microcoil embolization in recurrent high-flow priapism compared to PVA embolization...

BACKGROUND: Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a common cause of several types of cancer, including head and neck (oral cavity, pharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, nasopharynx, and larynx), cervical, vulval, vaginal, anal, and penile cancers. As HPV vaccines are available, there is potential to prevent HPV-related disease burden and related costs. METHOD: A model was developed for nine Central Eastern European (CEE) countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia)...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess the impact of overnight environmental conditions on erectile penile temperature within a controlled setting, with the aim of investigating the feasibility of using temperature measurements for nocturnal erection detection in erectile dysfunction diagnostics. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a proof-of-concept study involving 10 healthy male participants aged 20 to 25. The study was carried out at the Department of Urology, St...

BACKGROUND: A buried penis (BP) is rare in which the penile body is retracted into the prepubic adipose tissue. This research focuses on differences in smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC) isoform expressions in the dartos fascia. METHODS: A total of 82 children, 41 of whom had BPs, who applied for circumcision between May and November 2021, were included in the study. The cases were divided into four groups aged ≥6 years (NP6, n = 18) and aged ≤3 years (NP3, n = 17) with normal penile appearance, aged ≥6 years (BP6, n = 23) and aged ≤3 years (BP,n = 24) with a BP...

INTRODUCTION: Ventral penile curvature is a key factor in determining the surgical approach to proximal hypospadias repair. However, there is limited evidence regarding the efficacy and long-term effects of the procedures used to address curvature. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of urethral plate transection alone with tissue traction therapy on penile curvature in two-stage repair of proximal hypospadias. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a prospective study of primary hypospadias patients who underwent a two-stage repair with urethral plate transection as the sole straightening procedure...

High-risk strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can lead to the development of a number of cancers including cervical, vulvar, penile, anal and oropharyngeal. HPV vaccination programmes offer the HPV vaccine to males and females 12-13 years old in schools throughout the UK. However, knowledge of HPV remains low in post-primary schools. The aim of this study is to capture 15-16 year old students' perceptions regarding the current provision of HPV education, and whether providing HPV education to 15-16 year olds could influence their intention to be vaccinated and/or future sexual health decisions related to HPV...

BACKGROUND: Little is known about penile high-risk HPV among MSM in low-and-middle income countries. We aimed to determine the incidence, clearance and persistence of penile hrHPV among Rwandan MSM. METHODS: We enrolled 350 MSM (345 with valid HPV results), aged ≥18 years, at each visit (6-12 months apart), we collected penile PreservCyt specimens and blood for HPV and HIV testing, socio-demographic and behavioral variables. HPV testing was performed using the Ampfire assay...

BACKGROUND: Physical exercise may alleviate premature ejaculation symptoms, a prevalent male sexual dysfunction linked to a series of negative outcomes for men and their partners. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and slow breathing interventions on premature ejaculation symptoms and their relation to autonomic activity and attention regulation. METHOD: Chinese adult men ( N = 76, M = 21...

BACKGROUND: Bladder exstrophy (BE) poses challenges both during the surgical repair and throughout follow-up. In 2013, a multi-institutional BE consortium was initiated, which included utilization of unified surgical principles for the complete primary repair of exstrophy (CPRE), real time coaching, ongoing video capture and review of video footage, prospective data collection, and routine patient data analysis, with the goal of optimizing the surgical procedure to minimize devastating complications such as glans ischemia and bladder dehiscence while maximizing the rate of volitional voiding with continence and long term protection of the upper tracts...

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Nailifu Spray on the treatment of premature ejaculation. METHODS: A total of 90 patients were included in this study from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023. Nailifu spray was used to spray the surface of penile skin once a day, 2 sprays per session for 4 weeks.And the patients' premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) scores, intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT), and international index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5) scores were collected before and after treatment, respectively...
