ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Purpose: Considerable controversy exists regarding the surgery for concealed penis. We describe a new technique for repairing concealed penis by symmetrical pterygoid flap surgery. Methods: From January 2016 to July 2022, we evaluated 181 cases of concealed penis that were surgically treated using the symmetrical pterygoid flap surgery. We measured the penile size preoperative and 2, 4, 12 weeks, and 1 year postoperative to confirm the improvement. A questionnaire was administered to the patients and parents to assess satisfaction regarding penile size, morphology, and hygiene. Result: The perpendicular penile length was1.59±0.32cm preoperative and 3.82±1.02 cm after the procedure (p < 0.05), and 4.21±1.91cm after one year of postoperative (p < 0.05). The overall satisfaction of patients was 97.89%, while the overall satisfaction of older children patients (age>7) was 75.24%. Parents focus more on the penile exposure size, while patients focus more on the penile morphology. Almost every patient had postoperative penile foreskin edema. However, this symptom had spontaneously resolved by 4-6 weeks. The complications such as skin necrosis, tissue contracture, or wound infection were 4.42%. Conclusion: The symmetrical pterygoid flap surgery is an effective surgical technique for the management of concealed penis in children producing predictable results and excellent satisfaction of the parents and patients.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To report outcomes from the largest multicenter series of penile cancer patients undergoing video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL). Materials and Methods: Retrospective multicenter analysis. Authors of 21 centers from the Penile Cancer Collaborative Coalition-Latin America (PeC-LA) were included. All centers performed the procedure following the same previously described standardized technique. Inclusion criteria included penile cancer patients with no palpable lymph nodes and intermediate/high-risk disease and those with non-fixed palpable lymph nodes less than 4 cm in diameter. Categorical variables are shown as percentages and frequencies whereas continuous variables as mean and range. Results: From 2006 to 2020, 210 VEIL procedures were performed in 105 patients. Mean age was 58 (45-68) years old. Mean operative time was 90 minutes (60-120). Mean lymph node yield was 10 nodes (6-16). Complication rate was 15.7%, including severe complications in 1.9% of procedures. Lymphatic and skin complications were noted in 8.6 and 4.8% of patients, respectively. Histopathological analysis revealed lymph node involvement in 26.7% of patients with non-palpable nodes. Inguinal recurrence was observed in 2.8% of patients. 10y- overall survival was 74.2% and 10-y cancer specific survival was 84.8%. CSS for pN0, pN1, pN2 and pN3 were 100%, 82.4%, 72.7% and 9.1%, respectively. Conclusion: VEIL seems to offer appropriate long term oncological control with minimal morbidity. In the absence of non-invasive stratification measures such as dynamic sentinel node biopsy, VEIL emerged as the alternative for the management of non-bulky lymph nodes in penile cancer.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objectives: To provide an overview of low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LIEST) for erectile dysfunction (ED), pointing out which concepts are already consolidated and which paths we still need to advance. Materials and Methods: We performed a narrative review of the literature on the role of shockwave therapies in erectile dysfunction, selecting publications in PUBMED, including only relevant clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Results: We found 11 studies (7 clinical trials, 3 systematic review and 1 meta-analysis) that evaluated the use of LIEST for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. One clinical trial evaluated the applicability in Peyronie's Disease and one other clinical trial evaluated the applicability after radical prostatectomy. Conclusions: The literature presents little scientific evidence but suggests good results with the use of LIEST for ED. Despite a real optimism since it is a treatment modality capable of acting on the pathophysiology of ED, we must remain cautious, until a larger volume of higher quality studies allows us to establish which patient profile, type of energy and application protocol will achieve clinically satisfactory results.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to see the effect of parenteral testosterone injection on penile length, glans diameter, and diameter at the base of the penis in hypospadias patients before surgery. Material and Methods: The study was conducted from September 2019 to March 2021. This study comprised a total of 20 hypospadias patients. At a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight, an injection testosterone propionate was administered deep intramuscularly in three doses with a 3-week gap before reconstructive surgery. Before surgery, the penile length, glans diameter, and penile diameter at the base of the penis were all measured. Results: The mean increase in penile length, glans diameter, and diameter at the base of penis following parenteral testosterone therapy was 1.07 ± 0.23 cm (P < 0.001), 1.01 ± 0.46 cm (P < 0.001), and 0.92 ± 0.12 cm (P < 0.001), respectively. All three measurements were statistically significant. Conclusion: Intramuscular testosterone increased penis size, glans diameter, and penile diameter without causing any notable side effects. Development of fine pubic hair, acne, and aggressiveness is minor adverse effects.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: The corporo-glans ligament is the ligament connecting the corpus cavernosum and the glans of the penis. The anatomical description of the corporo-glans ligaments shape is still uncertain, this knowledge affects penile reconstructive procedures. The anatomy of the corporo-glans ligament was analyzed and recorded via observing sagittal sections of 10 different penile P45 plastination sections. According to the P45 plastination sections, the corporo-glans junction displayed a fibrous tissue band connecting the distal ends of the two corpus cavernous (CC) with the glans penis (GP). The fibrous band was a round-obtuse shape and ran deep into the glans of the penis and occupied about 2/3 of the whole GP. The original end was laid in a socket embedded in the GP. The density of the fibers of the ligament at the original end close to the tunica albuginea was less than that of the other parts. The fibers originating from the tunica albuginea, directly extended to the blind end of the two CC, covering the distal end of the two CC.
El ligamento cuerpo cavernoso-glande es el ligamento que conecta el cuerpo cavernoso y el glande del pene. La descripción anatómica de la forma de los ligamentos cuerpo cavernoso -glande aún es incierta; este conocimiento afecta los procedimientos reconstructivos del pene. La anatomía del ligamento cuerpo cavernoso-glande se analizó y registró mediante la observación de 10 secciones sagitales diferentes del pene a través de plastinación P45. Según las secciones de plastinación, la unión cuerpo-glande mostraba una banda de tejido fibroso que conectaba los extremos distales de los dos cuerpos cavernosos con el glande del pene. La banda fibrosa tenía una forma redonda y obtusa y se adentraba profundamente en el glande del pene ocupando alrededor de 2/3 de él. En su origen se coloca en un espacio profundo en el glande del pene. La densidad de las fibras del ligamento cuerpo cavernoso-glande en su origen cercano a la túnica albugínea era menor que el de las otras partes. Las fibras que se originan en la túnica albugínea, se extienden directamente hasta el extremo ciego de los dos cuerpos cavernosos, cubriendo el extremo distal de estos.

The complication rates of the observation group and the control group were not statistically significant ( χ2=0.64, P>0.05). Conclusions:The whole-process management mode based on "Internet + nursing service" is beneficial to shorten the length of hospitalization, relieve the degree to anxiety of the children′s parents, improve the satisfaction of the doctors, the specialist & nurse sharing and the children′s parents, and accelerate the rehabilitation of children, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
For many years, surgical treatment of buried penis in children has been researched by several scholars, and numerous methods exist. This study aimed to explore the clinical effect of a modified fixation technique in treating buried penis in children. Clinical data of 94 patients with buried penis who were treated using the modified penile fixation technique from March 2017 to February 2019 in Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital (Fuzhou, China) were retrospectively collected, compared, and analyzed. Clinical data of 107 patients with buried penis who were treated using traditional penile fixation technique from February 2014 to February 2017 were chosen for comparison. The results showed that at 6 months and 12 months after surgery, the penile lengths in the modified penile fixation group were longer than those in the traditional penile fixation group (both P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative skin contracture and penile retraction in the modified penile fixation group was less than that in the traditional penile fixation group (P = 0.034 and P = 0.012, respectively). When the two groups were compared in terms of parents' satisfaction scores, the scores for penile size, penile morphology, and voiding status in the modified penile fixation group were higher than those in the traditional penile fixation group at 2-week, 6-month, and 12-month follow-ups after surgery (all P < 0.05). We concluded that the modified penile fixation technique could effectively reduce the incidence of skin contracture and penile retraction and improve the penile length and satisfaction of patients' parents.

ABSTRACT Objective: to trace the clinical and epidemiological profile of penile cancer in Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil and relate them to data published in the literature. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 94 patients diagnosed with penile cancer in 2011-2018, treated at the Liga Norte Riograndense Contra o Cancer. Results: all patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, mainly aged over 50 years, from the states interior, brown, illiterate, or with incomplete primary education. At diagnosis, 68% of patients were classified as having tumors =T2, and 30% had lymph node involvement. Distant metastases were detected in 2.1% of patients at diagnosis. Most patients received the diagnosis in the initial phase of the disease, but 20.2% were diagnosed in stage IV. Partial penectomy was the most performed surgery, and 10% of patients relapsed, mainly in the lymph nodes (87.5%). The mean follow-up of the patients was 18 months, with an estimated overall survival at five years of 59.1%. However, 25% of patients were followed up for up to 3 months, losing follow-up. Conclusion: the State of Rio Grande do Norte has a high incidence of penile cancer with a high frequency of locally advanced tumors at diagnosis and in younger patients younger than 50. Furthermore, socioeconomic factors interfere with early diagnosis and hinder access to specialized services.

A maioria dos pacientes recebeu o diagnóstico na fase inicial da doença, mas 20,2% foram diagnosticados em estádio IV. Penectomia parcial foi a cirurgia mais realizada e 10% dos pacientes recidivaram, principalmente para linfonodos (87,5%). A média de seguimento dos pacientes foi de 18 meses, apresentando estimativa de sobrevida global em 5 anos de 59,1%. No entanto, 25% dos pacientes foram acompanhados por até 3 meses, perdendo o seguimento. Conclusão: o Estado do Rio Grande do Norte apresenta elevada incidência de câncer de pênis com alta frequência de tumores localmente avançados ao diagnóstico, assim como em pacientes mais jovens, menores que 50 anos de idade. Outrossim, o fator socioeconômico interfere no diagnóstico precoce e dificulta o acesso a serviços especializados. .
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the effects of status of lymph vascular invasion (LVI) on the survival of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (SCCP). 【Methods】 Data of patients diagnosed as SCCP during Jan.1, 2010 and Dec.31, 2019 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve of patients with different LVI statuses, and log-rank test was conducted in parallel. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess the effects of LVI status on the overall survival. Patients were divided into different subgroups based on stage (localized, regional, and distant metastasis) and grade (well, moderately and poorly differentiated) of tumor, and the effects of LVI status on the overall survival of patients in different subgroups were assessed. 【Results】 A total of 1 435 patients were involved, including 1 102 (76.8%) without LVI and 333 (23.2%) with LVI. Median survival time of patients without LVI and with LVI were 27.5 months and 17.0 months, respectively (χ2=55.028, P<0.001). Cox regression analyses showed LVI was a significant prognostic factor in SCCP patients (HR=1.280, 95%CI:1.044-1.569, P=0.018). In the subgroup analysis, LVI was an independent risk factor affecting the overall survival of patients with localized tumor (HR=1.446, 95%CI:1.009-2.110, P=0.046) and regional tumor (HR=1.323, 95%CI:1.018-1.720, P=0.036);it was also an independent risk factor affecting the overall survival of SCCP patients with well differentiated tumor (HR=2.797, 95%CI:1.573-4.971, P=0.046) and moderately differentiated tumor (HR=1.431, 95%CI:1.071-1.914, P=0.015). 【Conclusion】 LVI status is a significant factor affecting the prognosis of SCCP patients. LVI is an independent risk factor for the overall survival of SCCP patients with localized and regional tumor, moderately differentiated and well differentiated tumor.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the penile appearance, sexual function, psychological status and related influencing factors of adult patients who underwent hypospadias repair surgery in their minors, so as to provide reference for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hypospadias. 【Methods】 This study included 50 adult hypospadias patients who underwent urethroplasty in our hospital during May 2005 and Aug. 2018. The present appearance, sexual function and psychological status were evaluated. The correlation and consistency between hypospadias objective scoring evaluation (HOSE) and pediatric penile perception score (PPPS) were analyzed. Factors affecting the results were determined with univariate and multivariate regression analysis. 【Results】 The satisfaction rate of HOSE was significantly correlated with the urethral length and complications (P=0.024, P=0.033). The satisfaction rate of PPPS was significantly correlated with the number of urethral operations and postoperative complications (P=0.041, P=0.023). There was a weak correlation between HOSE and PPPS (r=0.291, P=0.040), but almost no consistency (Kappa=0.2, P=0.107). Sixty percent of the patients paid attention to the ventral appearance of penis, whose dissatisfaction rate of PPPS was higher than those who did not pay attention to the ventral appearance of the penis (19/30 vs. 6/20, P=0.021). Patients with multiple operations (>1), postoperative complications or unsatisfactory penile appearance were more likely to have inferiority complex (52.6% vs. 22.6%, P=0.029; 59.1% vs.14.3%, P=0.001;61.5% vs. 24.3%, P=0.015). Multivariate regression analysis showed that dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis was an independent risk factor for patients’ perception of their own physical defects. Among the patients who believed that they had physical defects, the percentage of patients with grade IV penile erectile hardness was significantly lower than that of those who denied they had physical defects (9/17 vs. 27/33, P=0.047). 【Conclusion】 The undesirable postoperative penis appearance is likely to have a negative impact on patients’ long-term psychological state, which might further damage the sexual function in adulthood. Surgeons should pay attention to the penile appearance during the conduction of hypospadias repair.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy of low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the treatment of penile hypersensitive premature ejaculation. 【Methods】 A total of 66 patients treated during Nov.2021 and Aug.2022 were randomly divided into electrical stimulation group (n=22), local anesthesia group (n=21), and combined therapy group (n=23). The electrical stimulation group received low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation, 5 times a week;the local anesthesia group used compound lidocaine cream 30 minutes before sexual intercourse;the combined therapy group received both treatments. After 3-month treatment, the latency of dorsal nerve somatosensory evoked potential (DNSEP), glans penis somatosensory evoked potential (GPSEP), intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT), premature ejaculation diagnostic tool score (PEDT), and spouse sexual satisfaction score were collected. 【Results】 After treatment, IELT, PEDT, spouse’s sexual life satisfaction score, DNSEP and GPSEP of the three groups were significantly improved (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 Low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation is effective in the treatment of penile hypersensitive premature ejaculation, and the combination of local anesthetics is more effective, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the effects of lamellar surgical techniques with urethral plate to strengthen the tissue of glans penis to widen the two flanks of glans penis on the basis of Duckett method in the treatment of congenital hypospadias with small glans penis deformity. 【Methods】 A total of 22 patients admitted to our hospital during Jun.2017 and Oct.2020 were involved. Urethral plate was used to replace the glans penis tissue to widen the two flanks of glans penis based on Duckett method. Lamellar surgical techniques were adopted to fully dissociate the two flanks of glans penis and urethral plate for urethroplasty. 【Results】 Of the 22 operations, 19 were successful,with a success rate of 86.3%. The success rate of penile head urethroplasty reached 96.1%. 【Conclusion】 Widening the glans penis by using the urethral plate based on Duckett method combined with lamellar surgical techniques can improve the success rate of glans penis urethroplasty.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy of bipedicled scrotal flaps combined with keystone-design perforator island flaps in repairing postoperative large-area defects in male patients with extramammary Paget′s disease of the perineum.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 6 male patients with extramammary Paget′s disease of the perineum in Dermatology Hospital of Jiangxi Province from February 2018 to March 2019, and analyzed retrospectively. These patients were aged from 70 to 84 years (median, 77.5 years) , skin lesions involved the mons pubis, penis and scrotum, and the area of postoperative skin defects varied from 18 to 133 cm 2 (median, 96 cm 2) in size. In all the patients, mons pubis defects after tumor resection were repaired with abdominal keystone-design perforator island flaps, and scrotal and penile defects were repaired with bipedicled scrotal flaps using the remaining scrotal tissues. These patients were followed up at 1 and 3 months after surgery and every 3 months thereafter. Results:All the 6 patients were followed up for 3 - 36 months, with an average of 10 months. All flaps survived with a good color and texture match, and favorable function and appearance were achieved in both the donor and recipient sites.Conclusions:The bipedicled scrotal flaps combined with keystone-design perforator island flaps can repair postoperative large-area defects in male patients with extramammary Paget′s disease of the perineum. Moreover, the operation is simple, and good blood supply can be achieved.

Existem diversas doenças e deformidades que acometem este órgão, sendo necessário, em certos casos, a reconstrução total da cobertura cutânea do pênis, tendo já sido descritas na literatura diversas técnicas, tais como o uso de enxertos totais, retalho escrotal, retalhos miocutâneos da fáscia lata e outros. Relato de Caso: Neste relato é apresentada uma reconstrução da cobertura total do pênis por meio do uso de retalho miocutâneo do músculo cremaster com pele da bolsa escrotal, conseguindo prover uma boa vascularização e mantendo a permeabilidade uretral. Conclusão: Tal técnica não foi encontrada em nenhuma das bases de dados pesquisadas no trabalho, apenas semelhantes, e mostrouse como uma boa opção para a reconstrução total da cobertura cutânea peniana.
Introduction: The penis is an important structure of the male body, and its reconstruction is a challenge. Several diseases and deformities affect this organ, being necessary, in certain cases, for the total reconstruction of the cutaneous coverage of the penis, having already been described in the literature several techniques, such as the use of total grafts, scrotal flap, myocutaneous flaps of the fasciae latae and others. Case Report: In this report, a reconstruction of the total coverage of the penis is presented using a myocutaneous flap of the cremaster muscle with skin from the scrotum, achieving good vascularization and maintaining urethral permeability. Conclusion: This technique was not found in any of the databases researched in this study, only similar ones, and it proved to be a good option for the total reconstruction of penile skin coverage.
ABSTRACT
Introducción. La fractura de pene es una emergencia urológica rara, se desconoce la incidencia real dado el subregistro causado por la reducida consulta de los pacientes, resultado del embarazoso contexto. En Estados Unidos alcanza un 38% donde la etiología de índole sexual predomina. En Colombia hay escasos reportes publicados. El diagnóstico de esta entidad es netamente clínico. El objetivo de este trabajo es reportar una evolución satisfactoria en términos de función miccional y eréctil en un paciente sometido a reconstrucción cavernosa y uretral temprana en rotura bilateral de origen traumático mediante una técnica quirúrgica poco convencional, de acuerdo con lo hallado en la literatura. Presentación del caso. Paciente masculino de 30 años, previamente sano, quien consultó al servicio de urgencias por uretrorragia, edema y dolor peneano secundario a trauma contuso del mismo durante relación sexual. El reporte ecográfico mostró disrupción en túnica albugínea del cuerpo esponjoso, hematoma y aparente transección uretral; se realizó exploración quirúrgica 6 horas después, con evidencia de fractura de cuerpos cavernosos, laceración del 40% de la circunferencia, transección completa de la uretra y cuerpo esponjoso. Se realizó rafia de cuerpos cavernosos y uretroplastia término terminal de uretra bulbar, con evolución clínica satisfactoria. Discusión. La reconstrucción quirúrgica en menos de 24 horas en fractura de pene disminuye significativamente la estancia hospitalaria y complicaciones precoces; asimismo, desciende el riesgo de disfunción eréctil, erecciones dolorosas y problemas miccionales. No hay publicaciones que comparen resultados a largo plazo entre los dos abordajes quirúrgicos. Conclusiones. La fractura de pene es una patología poco frecuente con diagnóstico clínico, la cual debe manejarse de manera temprana por cualquier urólogo y, en caso de ser posible, con experiencia reconstructiva y excelentes resultados en la función sexual y miccional.
Introduction. Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency, the real incidence is unknown given the underreporting caused by the reduced consultation of patients, resulting from the embarrassing context. In the United States it reaches 38%, where sexual etiology predominates. In Colombia there are few published reports. The diagnosis of this entity is purely clinical. The aim of this work is to report a satisfactory evolution in terms of voiding and erectile function in a patient who underwent early cavernous and urethral reconstruction in bilateral rupture of traumatic origin by means of an unconventional surgical technique, in accordance with what has been found in the literature. Case Presentation. A 30-year-old male patient, previously healthy, consulted the emergency department for urethrorrhagia, edema and penile pain secondary to blunt trauma to the penis during sexual intercourse. The ultrasound report showed disruption in the tunica albuginea of the corpus spongiosum, hematoma and apparent urethral transection; surgical exploration was performed 6 hours later, with evidence of fracture of the corpora cavernosa, laceration of 40% of the circumference, complete transection of the urethra and corpus spongiosum. Sutures to the corpora cavernosa and end-to-end urethroplasty of the bulbar urethra were performed, with satisfactory clinical evolution. Discussion. Surgical reconstruction in less than 24 hours in penile fractures significantly reduces hospital stay and early complications; it also reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction, painful erections and voiding problems. There are no publications comparing long-term results between the two surgical approaches. Conclusions. Penile fracture is a rare pathology with clinical diagnosis, which should be managed early by any urologist and, if possible, with reconstructive experience and excellent results in sexual and voiding function.
Introdução. A fratura peniana é uma emergência urológica rara, a real incidência é desconhecida dada a subnotificação causada pela reduzida consulta de pacientes, resultado do contexto constrangedor. Nos Estados Unidos chega a 38% onde predomina a etiologia de natureza sexual. Na Colômbia há poucos relatórios publicados. O diagnóstico desta entidade é puramente clínico. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar uma evolução satisfatória da função miccional e erétil em um paciente submetido à reconstrução cavernosa e uretral precoce em ruptura bilateral de origem traumática por meio de técnica cirúrgica não convencional, de acordo com o que foi encontrado na literatura. Apresentação do caso. Paciente do sexo masculino, 30 anos, previamente saudável, procurou o pronto-socorro por uretrorragia, edema e dor peniana secundária a trauma contuso durante a relação sexual. O relatório do ultrassom mostrou ruptura na túnica albugínea do corpo esponjoso, hematoma e transecção uretral aparente; a exploração cirúrgica foi realizada 6 horas depois, com evidência de fratura dos corpos cavernosos, laceração de 40% da circunferência, transecção completa da uretra e corpo esponjoso. Foram realizadas ráfia dos corpos cavernosos e uretroplastia término-terminal da uretra bulbar, com evolução clínica satisfatória. Discussão. A reconstrução cirúrgica em menos de 24 horas nas fraturas penianas reduz significativamente o tempo de internação e as complicações precoces. Da mesma forma, diminui o risco de disfunção erétil, ereções dolorosas e problemas de micção. Não há publicações comparando os resultados a longo prazo entre as duas abordagens cirúrgicas. Conclusões. A fratura peniana é uma patologia rara com diagnóstico clínico, que deve ser tratada precocemente por qualquer urologista e, se possível, com experiência reconstrutiva e excelentes resultados na função sexual e miccional.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness of modified Sugita and modified Shiraki in the treatment of severely concealed penis in children.Methods:A retrospective study was carried out on 72 children with congenital severely concealed penis, who were treated in the Department of Urology, Xuzhou Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from September 2016 to June 2021.Among them, 32 cases were treated with modified Sugita (modified Sugita group) and 40 cases were treated with modified Shiraki (modified Shiraki group). There was no significant difference in the age, body mass and body mass index between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The operation time, increased length of the exposed part of the penis after operation, score of parental satisfaction half a year after operation (obtained by using the Likert scale) and postoperative complications (classified according to the modified Clavien-Dindo classification) were compared between the 2 groups.Measurement data comparison between groups were performed by t test, counting data were analyzed by Chi- square test. Results:The operative time of the modified Sugita group and the modified Shiraki group were (50.00±8.03) min and (40.30±9.27) min, respectively.The operative time was significantly different between 2 groups ( t=4.107, P<0.05). The increased length of the exposed part of the penis after operation was (1.80±0.30) cm in the modified Sugita group and (1.90±0.33) cm in the modified Shiraki group, and no significant difference was found between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Six months after operation, the parental satisfaction score was (4.60±0.56) points in the modified Sugita group and (4.60±0.59) points in the modified Shiraki group.There was no significant difference in the parental satisfaction score between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In 72 cases, only 5 cases had grade Ⅰ complications.Postoperative complications were also not significantly different between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:After treating severely concealed penis in children with modified Sugita and modified Shiraki, the penis has a good appearance.These two surgeries have high parental satisfaction and low complications.They are easy to implement in clinical practice.The operation time of modified Shiraki is shorter than that of modified Sugita.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the effectiveness of modified Sugita and modified Shiraki in the treatment of severely concealed penis in children.Methods:A retrospective study was carried out on 72 children with congenital severely concealed penis, who were treated in the Department of Urology, Xuzhou Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from September 2016 to June 2021.Among them, 32 cases were treated with modified Sugita (modified Sugita group) and 40 cases were treated with modified Shiraki (modified Shiraki group). There was no significant difference in the age, body mass and body mass index between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The operation time, increased length of the exposed part of the penis after operation, score of parental satisfaction half a year after operation (obtained by using the Likert scale) and postoperative complications (classified according to the modified Clavien-Dindo classification) were compared between the 2 groups.Measurement data comparison between groups were performed by t test, counting data were analyzed by Chi- square test. Results:The operative time of the modified Sugita group and the modified Shiraki group were (50.00±8.03) min and (40.30±9.27) min, respectively.The operative time was significantly different between 2 groups ( t=4.107, P<0.05). The increased length of the exposed part of the penis after operation was (1.80±0.30) cm in the modified Sugita group and (1.90±0.33) cm in the modified Shiraki group, and no significant difference was found between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Six months after operation, the parental satisfaction score was (4.60±0.56) points in the modified Sugita group and (4.60±0.59) points in the modified Shiraki group.There was no significant difference in the parental satisfaction score between 2 groups ( P>0.05).

ABSTRACT
Micropenis is an objective diagnosis based on accurate measurement of the length of the penis. Micropenis can be caused by many factors, including the structure of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis or hormone defects. Therefore, examination of the endocrine system is extremely important for the diagnosis of the etiology. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, a multidisciplinary team of endocrinologists, geneticists, pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and urologists are required to jointly develop individualized treatment plans. This article reviews the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of micropenis, aiming to raise awareness and concern about micropenis.
ABSTRACT
Resumo Objetivo Analisar os significados das masculinidades durante a vivência do câncer peniano e seus tratamentos. Métodos Abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa amparada em referencial teórico da antropologia médica e das masculinidades, com o emprego do método narrativo. Foram entrevistados em profundidade 18 homens com neoplasia peniana em um hospital referência em uro-oncologia do estado de São Paulo. Cada participante foi entrevistado com roteiro de investigação, em média três vezes, sendo as entrevistas audiogravadas, transcritas e analisadas conforme a análise temática indutiva. Resultados Seis participantes realizaram a penectomia parcial e 12 total. Em relação ao estado civil, participaram dois viúvos, dois solteiros, três divorciados e 11 casados, com média de idade de 54 anos. A extirpação do pênis promoveu mudanças significativas na forma como os homens performavam suas masculinidades, sobretudo a hegemônica. Portanto, essa experiência lhes permitiu reinterpretar suas condições de saúde na tentativa de identificar outros elementos hegemônicos que sustentassem suas imagens masculinas. Para alguns foi possível representar um homem inteiro, porém outros se consideram agora meio-homens. Conclusão O adoecimento rompeu com o fluxo biográfico dos participantes, pois antes do câncer peniano a hegemonia os representava como masculinos, entretanto, após a penectomia, eles perdem um órgão que socialmente traz atributos como força, poder, trabalho e virilidade, situação que lhes trouxe a necessidade de reinterpretar o ser masculino em suas culturas. A enfermagem, para promover o cuidado integral ao homem, deve considerar que as masculinidades interferem no processo saúde e doença.

Abstract Objective To analyze masculinity meanings during penile cancer experience and its treatments. Methods Qualitative approach supported in the theoretical framework of medical anthropology and masculinities, with the use of the narrative method. We interviewed in-depth 18 men with penile cancer in a referential Urologic Oncology hospital from the state of São Paulo. Each participant was interviewed on average three times, with a structured script, being the interviews audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the inductive thematic analysis. Results Six patients were submitted to the partial penectomy and 12 to the total penectomy. Regarding the marital status, six were widowers, two single, three divorced, and 11 married, with an average age of 54 years old. The penis extirpation fostered significant change in the way men performed their masculinities, even the hegemonic. Thus, this experience allowed them to reinterpret their health conditions to identify other hegemonic elements that sustained their masculine images. For a few, it was possible to represent a full man however, others considered themselves half-men. Conclusion The illness broke the participant's biographic flow because, before penile cancer, the hegemony represented them as masculines, however, after the penectomy, they have lost an organ that is socially related to attributes such as strength, power, work, and virility, situation that brought them the necessity to reinterpret being masculine in their culture. To promote integrality of care to man the nursing must consider that masculinities interfere in the process of health and disease.
