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.

Multiple slit incisions with Tachosil® grafting for treatment of Peyronie’s disease and ED

Authors: Ahmed M. Ragheb, Daniar K. Osmonov

Key Words: Peyronie’s, slit, incisions, Tachosil, grafting

Plaque incision or partial excision with collagen fleece grafting and inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation is a well-established treatment for severe penile curvatures associated with ED. Nevertheless, multiple plaque incisions combined with Tachosil® grafting may have added advantages. In this video, we demonstrate, step-by-step, the treatment of a case of severe ED with an over 60 degree dorsal curvature mainly on the left side and an hour glass indentation on the right side of the penile shaft. We highlight the advantages of multiple plaque incisions and Tachosil® grafting combined with IPP implantation for these specific cases.

Horizontal Plication and Reduction Corporoplasty for Penile Girth Discrepancy (Christmas Tree Deformity)

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.

The “Kiel Knots” Technique for the Treatment of Congenital and Acquired Penile Curvature

Authors: Daniar K Osmonov, Ahmed M. Ragheb

Key Words: Kiel, knots, penile, congenital, curvature, Peyronie’s

Penile curvature is not only a cosmetic issue, but can also cause severe functional and psychological problems for the affected men and their partners. There are many surgical techniques for correction ranging from the least invasive as plication to the more invasive as incision or excision and grafting. We propose our “Kiel Knots” technique, based on modifying and combining the 16-dot and the Essed-Schroeder plication techniques for the correction of both congenital and acquired penile curvatures. In this video, we demonstrate step-by-step the Kiel Knots technique for the correction of a case of dorsal acquired curvature with good erectile function via the subcoronal approach while highlighting the added advantages of our technique.

Traumatic Tri-Corporal Penile Fracture, A Step-by-Step Surgical Repair

Authors: Orry, Marciano BA; Manish, Pathuri BA; Kristina, Gam MD; Omer, Raheem MD

Key Words: penile fracture, penile repair

Penile fracture can occur after forced flexion of the erect penis, resulting in rupture of the tunica albuginea. These traumatic injuries require urgent urologic evaluation and prompt diagnosis, with surgical repair being the standard of care. This video outlines the presentation, surgical indications, surgical repair, and post-operative course of a penile fracture repair.

Double Distal Corporal Anchoring Stitch For Lateral Penile Implant Cylinder Extrusion: A Step-by-Step Surgical Technique

Authors: Omer A. Raheem, Senthooran Kalidoss, Alfredo Suarez-Sarmiento, Paul E. Perito

Key Words: Double fixation stitch, surgical technique, impending lateral extrusion, penile implant, surgical revision procedure

This video covers the surgical technique for the correction and fixation of laterally extruded distal inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implant cylinders from the surgical capsule they are sealed within. This patient, with a 20-year history of diabetes, presented 3 years post IPP implantation with a lateral extrusion of one cylinder tip. This double distal fixation stitch technique, when performed after a corporoplasty and capsulotomy, anchors the distal cylinder tip more securely in place medially under the glans penis by creating a bridge between sutures. The fibrotic reactions created by the two sutures under the skin also help fixate the extruded cylinder to the proper position behind the glans. We demonstrate a step-by-step technique to use this double fixation stitch to secure extruded distal cylinders of an IPP implant placement.
