BACKGROUND Buried penis, most commonly seen in children, is particularly debilitating in adults, resulting in inability to void while standing and it also affects vaginal penetration. We report a case of buried penis due to a traffic accident, which caused dislocation of the fractured pubic bone that shifted inside and pulled the penis by its suspensory ligament. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-o...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the genital and urinary tract of men with urethritis. METHODS Cell samples were collected from the penis, urethra and urine of 142 men with urethritis. A HPV test was performed on the samples using the modified GP5+/6+ polymerase chain reaction method, and the HPV genotype was determined using a HPV GenoArray test. RE...

The aim of this particular study is to determine the efficacy of scrotal embedding technique in children with overly deficient penile shaft skin, which takes advantage of the rich vascular supply of the scrotal layers and provides adequate tissue coverage. We give the operative and clinical details of two consecutive cases for which we preferred scrotal embedding technique to replace deficient ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to categorize concealed penis and buried penis by preoperative physical examination including the manual prepubic compression test and to describe a simple surgical technique to correct buried penis that was based on surgical experience and comprehension of the anatomical components. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2007 to November 2010, 17 patients were dia...

Oral sex is widely used in human foreplay, but rarely documented in other animals. Fellatio has been recorded in bonobos Pan paniscus, but even then functions largely as play behaviour among juvenile males. The short-nosed fruit bat Cynopterus sphinx exhibits resource defence polygyny and one sexually active male often roosts with groups of females in tents made from leaves. Female bats often l...

Many normal adult North American men would prefer to have a longer penis. The penis is the ultimate symbol of virility. To improve self-esteem, some men desire a larger penis, a desire that is similar, in many respects, to that of women who want breast augmentation (1). Until recently, there has been no treatment available for the normal mature male who wished a longer phallus. Children with mi...

Sixty-three patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis have been reviewed. The 3 year survival was 77%, and the 5 year survival was 59%. Prognosis was related to both clinical staging and histological grading. Stage I and II carcinomas were best treated by surgery alone. Stage III and IV carcinomas were best treated by local amputation of the penis combined with radiotherapy to the ingu...

Gumma of the penis is generally regarded as a rare condition and on that account it is likely to be overlooked as a possibility in the diagnosis of penile sores. As far as we can ascertain only eleven cases of penile gummata have been reported in the world literature during the past 40 years. In many of these cases the diagnosis was made on clinical grounds and not substantiated by histological...

BACKGROUND Cancer of the penis is an uncommon malignancy in developed countries, but the incidence is as high as 17% of all male cancers in some undeveloped countries. The surgical management of this disease has improved due to better knowledge of risk for metastasis and newer imaging technologies to assess the regional lymph nodes. METHODS We review the literature on incidence, etiology, pat...
