Bleeding due to dorsal venous complex (DVC) injury is generally regarded as the main cause of stress for the surgeon during radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) and radical cystoprostatectomy (RSP). Despite its significance, previous studies have not adequately explored preventive strategies for DVC bleeding. This study aimed to determine whether applying an artificial erection (AE) before transecting the DVC in a rat model could effectively reduce bleeding.

There is an unmet need for a non-invasive marker to predict spermatogenic potential and the likelihood of finding mature sperm in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Accordingly, we assessed the level of seminal angiotensin II (Ang II), which is suggested to be linked to sperm motility and count, and its relation to spermatogenic activity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the collaboration among countries, institutions and authors in the field of penile cancer research, as well as to identify the current hot topics in this area.

During adolescence, an individual's sexual life begins. It is essential to understand their knowledge, attitudes and sexual habits, as this is the objective of the study, along with tracking their evolution over time. This is the second expanded edition of a similar study conducted in the same population in 2010.

The number of elderly patients with metabolic syndrome is on the rise in Korea. A prevalent indication of aging in males is a decrease in testosterone levels. This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study to analyze the prevalence of metabolic syndrome due to testosterone deficiency in middle-aged and elderly individuals.

Although various factors contribute to the pathophysiology of varicocele, the underlying etiological causes have not yet been fully elucidated. Due to the existence of studies showing that there is a relationship between ABO blood group antigens and vascular diseases and that the risk of varicocele increases in men with various vascular diseases, this study aimed to investigate the association between ABO blood groups and varicocele.

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of YouTube videos related to penile fracture by applying established rating systems.

Cadmium (Cd) is a recognized toxic metal with serious reproductive toxicity in both animals and humans, while quercetin (Que) is considered the potent antioxidant among flavonoid compounds. However, little is known about the alleviating effect of Que on Cd-induced testicular cell apoptosis. This experiment aims to investigate the alleviating effect of Que on Cd-induced testicular cell apoptosis in rats.

Brucellosis is an endemic, occupational and travellers' zoonotic disease. Involvement of testis and epididymis can occur in acute and chronic forms of systemic brucellosis. If the diagnosis and treatment is delayed, young men may suffer with complications resulting in permanent damage to reproductive system and infertility. This study gives an insight into clinical and therapeutic approaches used in brucellar endemic area and also highlight clues that can help in early detection of Brucellar epididymo-orchitis.

Oral antioxidants especially L-carnitine (LC) and N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) are commonly used as the drug treatment method for idiopathic male infertility (IMI).

Very little is known about erectile function (EF) and its associated predictors in the university students. The aim was to quantify the prevalence and some associated predictors of EF in a large sample of the university students from the largest National University in Kazakhstan.

Urethrocavernous fistulas are rare pathological communications between the urethra and corpora cavernosa, primarily associated with trauma or iatrogenic interventions (, priapism shunt surgery). Their nonspecific symptomatology (urethrorrhagia, purulent discharge, or urinary retention) often delays diagnosis. The objective of this paper is to analyze the clinical and therapeutic profile of urethrocavernous fistulas through a case report and systematic literature review to establish evidence-based management insights.

Vasectomy reversal (VR) is the only technique that allows men previously submitted to a vasectomy to conceive by natural pregnancy. We report our experience with microsurgical VR and identify predictive factors of natural pregnancy.

Penile prosthesis (PP) implantation is feasible as an outpatient surgery. The present study describes the surgical process and establishes a consensus for improving the care circuit for outpatient PP implantation in Spain. A working group composed of a scientific committee with extensive experience in PP implantation and representatives of important scientific societies reached a consensus about the recommendations for outpatient PP implantation. The consensus was based on a structured methodology and evidence extracted from a systematic review, literature review and clinical experience. This study details the consensus reached regarding the profile of patients who are candidates for outpatient PP implantation; the care process in the presurgical, surgical and postsurgical phases; and the quality indicators for monitoring and evaluating the quality-of-care standards for outpatient PP implantation. Based on the insights of the working group, this study gives a description of the process map of outpatient PP implantation and promotes the map as a useful tool for urologist physicians and hospital managers.

This study aims to determine the impact of laptop and tablet use on total motile sperm count (TMSC) in men being investigated for assisted reproduction.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of both patients and their partners. Current therapeutic approaches often struggle to address the diverse needs of all patients. In addition, the efficacy of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in improving ED symptoms has been insufficiently investigated. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of LIPUS and to assess whether combining LIPUS with biofeedback electric stimulation for pelvic floor therapy enhances treatment outcomes.

Testicular torsion-detorsion damage is a common ischemia-reperfusion injury brought on by an excess of reactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species may affect cellular differentiation by regulating gene expression. The gene expression in the testis is essential for spermatogenesis. Safranal, the main bioactive ingredient isolated from L., has potent antioxidant properties. Our current investigation examined the potential mechanism by which safranal could shield the testis from ischemia-reperfusion damage.

We aimed to contribute to the literature by exploring the possible relationship of PV with erectile dysfunction (ED), as in atherosclerosis-based vascular diseases.

The massive harmful effects of cigarette (tobacco) smoking on reproduction and fecundity are apparent. Even smoking cessation is often suggested for infertility patients by clinic doctors, while the impact of smoking cessation on semen quality in patients with oligoasthenospermia is uncovered.

Tramadol, an opioid analgesic, is known to induce testicular damage and impair reproductive parameters. Vitamin D3, recognized for its antioxidant and protective properties, might offer a potential protective effect against tramadol-induced testicular damage. This study observed the effects of co-administration of vitamin D3 and tramadol on serum kisspeptin levels, testicular histology, semen parameters, testosterone levels, and oxidative stress markers in male rats.

This study aims to explore the diagnostic significance of basal sex hormone levels and pelvic B-mode ultrasound in the context of central precocious puberty (CPP) in female children.
