Despite the millenniums-old tradition in Abrahamic circles of removing the foreskin of a penis at birth, the involuntary and aggressive practice of circumcision must not be made an exception to the natural, negative right to self-ownership-a birthright which should prevent a parent from physically harming a child from the moment of birth going forward. This paper will present a natural rights a...

A case of pyogenic granuloma of the prepuce is presented. This to our knowledge, is the first reported case of this condition affecting this site.

BACKGROUND A concealed penis is a condition where part of the penis is invisible below the surface of the prepubic skin. Dermolipectomy can correct this condition, although it involves a long abdominal crease incision, or infrapubic incision around the base of the penis, and a possibility for genital lymphedema. This study describes Shaeer's technique, a minimally invasive method for revealing ...

Circumcision is one of the most common rituals in Jewish and Islamic cultures. It may also be performed for phimosis correction or the treatment of recurrent balanitis. Although circumcision is considered to be a technically easy and safe surgical procedure with no significant risk, it may lead to severe complications such as necrotizing fasciitis or total penis amputation. In this report, we p...

PURPOSE Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of cavernosum play an important role in erection. It is of great significance to quantitatively analyze the level of SMCs in penis. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of shear wave elastography (SWE) on evaluating the level of SMCs in penis quantitatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty healthy male rats were selected. The SWE imaging of penis was ...

INTRODUCTION Construction of a neoglans penis may be required following glans amputation at circumcision, strangulation by a hair coil, or self-mutilation, among other indications. It may also be combined with phalloplasty to imitate the natural appearance and to support a penile prosthesis. AIM This is a report on a novel technique of neoglans construction for a patient with an amputated gla...

Impaired endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) function is associated with erectile dysfunction in diabetes mellitus, but the exact molecular basis for the eNOS defect in the diabetic penis remains unclear. We investigated whether hyperglycemia increases O-GlcNAc modification of eNOS in the penis, preventing phosphorylation at the primary positive regulatory site on the enzyme and hampering ...

was invaginated into the scrotum for a short distance. He applied to some native quack who sewed up the scrotal wound, and left the penis in its abnormal position within the scrotum. The wound healed except at the bottom of the scrotum just at the part corresponding to the new position taken up by the glans-penis, where a fistulous opening was left through which the urine flowed out in full-siz...

Ancient Middle-Eastern medicine described the practise of massaging camel hump fat to revive dysfunctional penis. This practice was long forgotten. A cream containing a Malaysian herb, Eurycoma longifolia, known to increase cellular cGMP and cAMP, was put to a study to evaluate its efficacy strengthening and maintaining penis tumescence. 60 men were recruited.50 men were given active cream and ...

Diphallia and double scrota are rare congenital anomalies. This report records, for the first time, the gross pathological findings of a rare case of diphallia and double scrota in a two-year-old donkey. On physical examination of the donkey, double peni, double prepuces, double scrota and two testes were observed. The two peni were directed opposite to each other at the caudal ventral midline....
