    Abstract Synthetic male sling (MS) is considered an effective surgical treatment to restore male stress urinary incontinence. The modern MS can be categorised into adjustable or non-adjustable types, while the surgical techniques can be divided into retropubic or transobturator approaches. This narrative review paper evaluates the contemporary MS devices in the current commercial market regarding clinical outcomes and refinements in surgical techniques. Scientific advances in device design and technology, coupled with further surgical refinements will enhance the clinical outcomes and improve the safety profile of MS surgery. The newer generation of modern MS not only provides direct compression of the bulbar urethra but also allows for proximal urethral relocation by realigning the mobile sphincter complex to provide further urethral sphincter complex coaptation. Strict patient selection, use of MS with proven clinical records, adherence to safe surgical principles and judicious postoperative care are critical to ensure a high continence rate, good patient satisfaction and low postoperative complications.

    Abstract Purpose: To report a case series of 6 patients with penile glans necrosis (PGN) following prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and review the current literature relating to PAE and PGN, including the emerging role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for PGN.
    Materials and methods: All patients have failed medical BPH therapy and chose to undergo PAE over other minimally invasive BPH surgery. Patient demographics, preoperative and postoperative validated questionnaires such as the International Prostate Symptom Severity (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scores, treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) and subsequent treatment for PGN were reviewed. All patients were follow-up with a minimum of 12 months post-PAE.
    Results: Between January 2018 and June 2020, six males with a mean age of 52.3 years (44-66 y) received PAE for BPH therapy. An immediate postoperative PGN was recognised in 4 out of 6 patients with the mean penile glans pain score of 3 and 4 patients reported altered penile glans sensitivity. Comparing the mean (and median) IPSS and IIEF-5 scores were 16.5 (16) and 21.3 (21) pre-PAE, there was improvements in IPSS and IIEF-5 scores at 12.0 (12) and 18.0 (18) at 12 months review. All patients reported normal penile glans sensitivity and only 1 patient reported an on-going penile glans pain (score 2). Four patients received HBOT while 2 patients elected for conservative care. All patients reported worse erectile function scores despite complete resolution of PGN.
    Conclusions: PGN is a rare but serious complication of PAE with ensuing erectile dysfunction. HBOT appears to expedite the recovery process in men with PGN related to PAE with better erection scores compared to conservative measure.

    Abstract Background: Orchialgia is not an uncommon complaint among men with varicocele, but postvaricocele embolization-related testicular pain has not been widely investigated. This study evaluates the phenomenon of postvaricocele embolization pain (PVEP) syndrome and examines the current strategies to treat this unusual complication.
    Methods and materials: A prospectively collected database of patients with PVEP who presented to a tertiary center was analyzed between January 2011 and January 2020 following internal ethics approval. Patient demographics, including other complications related to embolization, analgesic requirements, and pain scores (on a 10-point visual analog score), treatment strategies, Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) score and overall satisfaction score (on a 5-point scale), were reviewed. All patients were reviewed for a minimum of 12 months.
    Results: A total of 20 men with a mean age of 33.8 (18-45) years old, presented with PVEP over 10 years. Most men received embolization on an average of 26.6 (18-48) months. The reasons for varicocele embolization include either isolated or combined orchialgia (15 men), subfertility (5 men), and cosmesis (6 men). Eighteen (90%) men underwent microscopic spermatic cord denervation (MSCD) and 2 patients elected for conservative measures. The average pain scores pre-MSCD and post-MSCD were 6.9 (4-9) and 1.4 (0-4) (p<0.001) with a significant reduction in analgesia requirements. Immediate improvement in pain score was reported in all the patients and this persisted at the 12 months review. Most men reported a high satisfaction score (of 4/5) and only one patient reported no change in symptoms after MSCD.
    Conclusion: PVEP is a unique complication and patients should be counseled on the potential risk of persistent orchialgia following embolization for varicocele. The MSCD appears to be an effective treatment option with high success and satisfaction rates.

    Abstract Objective: The following article explores our evolving understandings of the role of regenerative technology as an effective penile rehabilitation tool in men with erectile dysfunction (ED) in the setting of prostate cancer (PCa) treatment and PCa survivorship.
    Methods: This narrative clinical review paper summarizes what is currently known about various modalities of regenerative therapy in restoring spontaneous erectile function (EF) in men following PCa treatment with an emphasis on penile rehabilitation strategies.
    Results: Conventional medical therapy often does not reverse underlying endothelial dysfunction or promote neuro-vasculogenesis to preserve penile health in men with ED. Over the past decade, there has been considerable interest in the role of regenerative therapy to restore endothelial dysfunction and ED without future dependency on medical therapy. Regenerative therapy can be classified into cellular-based (immunomodulators, stem cells, and platelet-rich plasma), biomaterials (nerve graft transfer), and device-related technology (low-intensity shockwave). Although published literature shows early promise in the role of regenerative technology for ED, there is a paucity of high-quality clinical trials in the setting of penile rehabilitation and PCa survivorship to support their use as standard care and be adopted in clinical guidelines.
    Conclusion: While the use of regenerative technology to restore EF is exciting and highly innovative, considerable limitations remain regarding actual clinical translation and the need for longer-term efficacy and safety data as well as governmental regulation on clinical framework and more robust clinical studies before they can be accepted as standard of care to restore EF in men following PCa treatment.

    Abstract Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) following prostate cancer treatment is not uncommon and penile rehabilitation is considered the standard of care in prostate cancer survivorship (PCS), where both patient and his partner desire to maintain and/or recover pre-treatment erectile function (EF). There is a clinical interest in the role of regenerative therapy to restore EF, since existing ED treatments do not always achieve adequate results.
    Aim: To review regenerative therapies for the treatment of ED in the context of PCS.
    Materials and methods: A review of the existing PubMed literature on low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LIESWT), stem cell therapy (SCT), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), gene therapy, and nerve graft/neurorrhaphy in the treatment of ED and penile rehabilitation, was undertaken.
    Results: IESWT promotes neovascularization and neuroprotection in men with ED. While several systematic reviews and meta-analyses showed positive benefits, there is limited published clinical data in men following radical prostatectomy. Cellular-based technology such as SCT and PRP promotes cellular proliferation and the secretion of various growth factors to repair damaged tissues, especially in preclinical studies. However, longer-term clinical outcomes and concerns regarding bioethical and regulatory frameworks need to be addressed. Data on gene therapy in post-prostatectomy ED men are lacking; further clinical studies are required to investigate the optimal use of growth factors and the safest vector delivery system. Conceptually interpositional cavernous nerve grafting and penile re-innervation technique using a somatic-to-autonomic neurorrhaphy are attractive, but issues relating to surgical technique and potential for neural 'regeneration' are questionable.
    Conclusion: In contrast to the existing treatment regime, regenerative ED technology aspires to promote endothelial revascularization and neuro-regeneration. Nevertheless, there remain considerable issues related to these regenerative technologies and techniques, with limited data on longer-term efficacy and safety records. Further research is necessary to define the role of these alternative therapies in the treatment of ED in the context of penile rehabilitation and PCS.

    Abstract Male sexual dysfunction, a common sequela following primary prostate cancer (PC) treatment, is likely to be more significant following salvage PC therapy. In general, these impairments in sexual domains can be divided into three groups, namely (1) sexual desire, sexuality and masculinity; (2) erectile function (EF); and (3) ejaculation and orgasm. However, there is considerable overlap between these sexual domains and male sexual response cycle, and various factors such as cancer status, mental well-being, medical conditions and social circumstances can adversely impact on the male sexual function. While several preventive and treatment strategies for the preservation and recovery of sexual function are available, there is limited consensus guidelines exist regarding the optimal rehabilitation or treatment protocol for men with sexual dysfunction following salvage therapy. While penile rehabilitation may be effective to restore erectile function and the ability to have coital sex, there is lack of effective treatments in other domains of male sexual function, thereby underscoring the importance of psychological and sexual counselling in sexual rehabilitation. Indeed, a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach is necessary to better understand and optimally assist and manage the men and their respective partners for better sexual health and activity.
