VJPU - The Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology

YOUR Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology

and Sexual Medicine Surgery

Word from The Editor-In-Chief

It is with great pride that I welcome you to participate in the Journal of Prosthetic Urology (VJPU). The journal was created by the ISSM to serve as a forum for sexual medicine to allow its members to exchange notable ideas via the visual medium. Our members are scattered across the globe and prosthetic urology is a tiny subspecialty of sexual medicine. A specific goal was to facilitate the transmission of surgical technique knowledge regarding the implantation of surgical devices related to sexual medicine.

Authors: Ramzy Burns, Melissa Egert, Mary Soyster, Andre Alabd, Helen Bernie

Key Words: Peyronie’s, Horizontal Plication

This video displays a very rare form of Peyronie’s disease leading to a significant girth discrepancy. The patient was unable to have penetrative intercourse due to the girth. This deformity noted as a “Christmas Tree Deformity” as well as the surgical correction, have only been described in the literature once beforehand. The video displays the utilization of horizontal plication sutures to correct the girth discrepancy with significant improvement observed. The patient had an uncomplicated recovery and is able to now have successful penetrative intercourse.
