    Abstract Background: The acquisition of skills in penile prosthesis surgery has many limitations mainly due to the absence of simulators and models for training. Three-dimensional (3D) printed models can be utilized for surgical simulations, as they provide an opportunity to practice before entering the operating room and provide better understanding of the surgical approach.
    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and validate a 3D model of human male genitalia for penile prosthesis surgery.
    Methods: This study included 3 evaluation and validation stages. The first stage involved verification of the 3D prototype model for anatomic landmarks compared with a cadaveric pelvis. The second stage involved validation of the improved model for anatomic accuracy and teaching purposes with the Rochester evaluation score. The third stage comprised validation of the suitability of the 3D prototype model as a surgical simulator and for skill acquisition. The third stage was performed at 3 centers using a modified version of a pre-existing, validated questionnaire and correlated with the Rochester evaluation score.
    Outcome: We sought to determine the suitability of 3D model for training in penile prosthesis surgery in comparison with the available cadaveric model.
    Results: The evaluation revealed a high Pearson correlation coefficient (0.86) between questions of the Rochester evaluation score and modified validated questionnaire. The 3D model scored 4.33 ± 0.57 (on a Likert scale from 1 to 5) regarding replication of the relevant human anatomy for the penile prosthesis surgery procedure. The 3D model scored 4.33 ± 0.57 (on a Likert scale from 1 to 5) regarding its ability to improve technical skills, teach and practice the procedure, and assess a surgeon's ability. Furthermore, the experts stated that compared with the cadaver, the 3D model presented greater ethical suitability, reduced costs, and easier accessibility.
    Clinical implications: A validated 3D model is a suitable alternative for penile prosthesis surgery training.
    Strengths and limitations: This is the first validated 3D hydrogel model for penile prosthesis surgery teaching and training that experts consider suitable for skill acquisition. Because specific validated guidelines and questionnaires for the validation and verifications of 3D simulators for penile surgery are not available, a modified questionnaire was used.
    Conclusion: The current 3D model for penile prosthesis surgery shows promising results regarding anatomic properties and suitability to train surgeons to perform penile implant surgery. The possibility of having an ethical, easy-to-use model with lower costs and limited consequences for the environment is encouraging for further development of the models.

    Abstract Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the focus of the scientific debate for the treatment of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Sexual maturation and reproductive function depend on the pulsatile secretion of GnRH that are mainly congenital and may or may not be associated with other genetic anomalies or syndromes. Clinical manifestations include a wide range of metabolic, endocrine, and psychologic dysfunctions. The following manuscript focuses on the effects of GnRH therapy on fertility and cognitive abilities, aiming to investigate the current level of evidence for this treatment regimen. Current literature has been reviewed with the aim of highlighting the key findings on these two aspects.

    Abstract Introduction: Animal models are frequently used for translational research in Peyronie's disease (PD). However, due to lack of availability of guidelines, there is some heterogeneity in study design, data reporting, and outcome measures.
    Aim: This European Society for Sexual Medicine consensus statement aims to provide guidance in utilization of animal models in PD research in a standardized and uniform fashion.
    Methods: PubMed was searched for studies using animal models for PD. The following search terms were used: ("Peyronie's disease" OR "penile fibrosis" OR "penile curvature" OR "induration penis plastica" OR "erectile dysfunction") AND ("rodent" OR "mouse" OR "mice" OR "rat" OR "rabbit").
    Outcomes: This European Society for Sexual Medicine statement describes best practice guidelines for utilization of animals in PD research: power calculation, details of available models, surgical procedures, and measurement techniques, while highlighting possible pitfalls and translational limitations of the models.
    Results: In total, 2490 studies were retrieved and 2446 articles were excluded. A total of 44 studies were included, of which 40 studies used rats, 1 study used both rats and mice, 1 study used a genetic mouse model, and 2 studies used rabbits. A significant number of the studies (70.5%) used transforming growth factor β 1 for induction of fibrosis. Oxford 2011 Levels of Evidence criteria could not be applied due to the nature of the studies.
    Conclusion: Despite certain limitations of PD animal models presented, we aimed to provide guidance for their appropriate use in translational research, with the purpose of improving study quality and reproducibility as well as facilitating interpretation of reported results and conclusions.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the risk factors for penile arterial insufficiency (PAI), which is a known cause of erectile dysfunction (ED).
    Methods: Patients who attended our urology clinic complaining of ED for more than 6 months were prospectively enrolled in this study over 1-year period. Patient consent was taken and ethical committee approval. Complete medical history and thorough general and local examination including body mass index (BMI), Peyronie's disease (PD) and penile size measurements (length and girth) were done for all of them. Laboratory tests included testosterone, lipid profile and glycated haemoglobin (HA1c). A penile duplex ultrasound study (PDU) was done for all patients after intracavernosal injection (ICI) with alprostadil. Peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) were measured after 15 min. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS.
    Results: A total of 440 patients were enrolled in this analysis. The mean age was 48(23-81), and the mean BMI was 30 (18-51). Older patients had lower PSV (
    Conclusions: Ageing, tobacco consumption, DM and hypertension seem to have a negative impact on penile haemodynamics, which was statistically significant. In our patients, there was no statistically significant effect on penile haemodynamics in patients with increased BMI, low testosterone or PD or according to the size of the penis.

    Abstract Abstract: Previous published studies have shown an improvement of penile hemodynamic parameters after low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT). However, the clinical significance of these findings remains unclear, and definitive selection criteria for Li-ESWT based on preexisting comorbidities have yet to be established. This was an observational study of 113 patients with ED, evaluated between January 2019 and December 2021 in Andrology Unit at the Department of Urology and Renal Transplantation, University of Foggia (Foggia, Italy). Penile dynamic Doppler was performed to evaluate vascular parameters and 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF-5) questionnaire was administered to assess the severity of ED. This was repeated 1 month after treatment. Patients with a peak systolic velocity (PSV) <30 cm s-1 were considered eligible for Li-ESWT. Our protocol consisted of 8 weekly sessions with 1500 strokes distributed in 5 different locations along the penis. After treatment, a significant mean (±standard deviation [s.d.]) PSV increase of 5.0 (±3.4) cm s-1 was recorded and 52/113 (46.0%) patients reached a PSV >30 cm s-1 at posttherapeutic penile dynamic Doppler. A clinically significant IIEF-5 score improvement was observed in 7 patients, 21 patients, and 2 patients with mild-to-moderate, moderate, and severe pretreatment ED, respectively. No different outcomes were assessed based on smoking habits, previous pelvic surgery, or use of oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5i). On the other side, only 1 (6.7%) in 15 patients with diabetes mellitus showed an IIEF-5 score improvement after Li-ESWT. Shockwave treatment determined a significant increase in PSV and correlated IIEF-5 improvement in ED patients. This advantage seemed particularly evident for moderate ED and was not affected by smoking habits, previous pelvic surgery, and use of PDE5i. Conversely, diabetic patients did not benefit from the treatment.

    Title translation Penile prosthesis in the treatment of erectile dysfunction: updates in 2020.
    Abstract Penile erection implants are considered to be the « Gold Standard » for the treatment of erectile dysfunction with an organic component that escapes pharmacological and mechanical treatment. The place of preoperative information is fundamental. It is a simple and minimally invasive surgery. Penile Erection Implants are becoming more and more a full-fledged treatment line, which can be offered at the same time as other Erectile Dysfunction treatments. In this article, we will discuss the presentation of the different implants available, the elements underlying their indication, the place of preoperative information, the mains steps of the surgical procedure, the outcomes and satisfaction rates.

    Title translation Peyronie's Disease: update in 2020.
    Abstract Peyronie's disease (PD) is a relatively unknown cause of sexual dysfunction. Symptoms may include the appearance of an erectile deformity, pain in the penis and erectile dysfunction (ED). The etiology is most often unclear, and medical treatments are limited, although improvement is always possible. However, surgical treatment remains the only option when the disease has stabilized and in the event of significant erectile and sexual disability.
