[Erectile impotence. Organic causes and diagnosis].

The fashionable assumption that most cases of impotence are due to psychological problems is rooted in myth and often leads physicians to miss a wide range of possible physical causes. Since many metabolic, neurologic or cardiovascular disorders may cause sexual impairment, sexual and general history have to be done with utmost care and are the key to further work-up. Each systemic disorder has to be tested in regard to its significance for the sexual dysfunction. Since many drugs have a negative effect on sexual function the patient has to be asked for the medicaments he uses. A minimal laboratory work-up is required in order to get an idea of the patient's general condition.

Dorsal relieving incision for the non-retractile foreskin.

The operation of dorsal relieving incision (DRI) for non-retractibility of the foreskin is described and the results of a retrospective review of 67 boys so treated are presented. We conclude that DRI is a simple, safe and effective procedure for the non-retractile foreskin not affected by fibrotic scarring.

[Preoperative monitoring of blood coagulation in urologic operations: diagnosis of familial factor XI deficiency within the scope of preoperative blood coagulation studies].

Presurgical coagulation diagnosis should--apart from coagulation monitoring in the laboratory based on a stepwise diagnosis for detection of coagulations disorders, starting with global tests (NT/APTT) followed by appropriate specific investigation in case of pathological findings--consist of an adequate hemostaseological anamnesis and physical checkup of the patient. This would allow detection of important signs of hemostaseological impairment during the pre-analytical phase already and permit subsequent initiation of more specific coagulation tests. The casuistics of a patient with factor XI-deficiency ("Minor Form"), a condition which is extremely infrequent in our country, demonstrates the coagulation diagnostic procedure which led to detection of his inherited factor XI-deficiency. In addition the pre-, peri- and postsurgical therapeutical management of this particular patient using an antifibrinolytic drug (tranexamic acid) is presented.

[Life expectancy in penile carcinoma (statistical evaluation of 150 penile carcinomas in the period 1912-1970)].

In the period 1912-1970 in the Göttingen area, 150 patients suffering from penis carcinoma were investigated and/or treated. With regard to method of treatment, three periods can be distinguished: 1912-1930, 1931-1948, and 1949-1970. During the first period, treatment was chiefly radiotherapy, in the second chiefly surgery, and in the third combined radiotherapy and surgery. Independent of the type of therapy and period of observation, the 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were 52.5%, 46.7%, and 31.4%, respectively. The greatest life expectancy was that following combined surgical and high-voltage therapy. The importance of lymphography is emphasized.

Routine neonatal circumcision?

Routine neonatal circumcision is still a controversial procedure. This article attempts to clarify some of the advantages and disadvantages of neonatal circumcision. The increased rate of penile cancer among uncircumcised men appears to justify the procedure, but that alone is not sufficient justification. The final decision on neonatal circumcision should be made by parents with balanced counsel from attending physicians.

The management of the paediatric foreskin.

There are many conflicting opinions among health professionals and parents regarding care of the normal foreskin in young boys as well as the highly controversial subject of circumcision. Minor foreskin related complaints are very common in the first few years of life. Most of these can be managed with advice and reassurance, or with medical treatment alone. Circumcision is very rarely indicated in young boys, particularly under the age of 5 years. The issue of circumcision for non medical reasons, that is, religions, ethnic or personal, remains controversial.

Anatomical alignment for the correction of buried penis.

PURPOSE: We report a straightforward surgical technique for the correction and anatomical alignment of the skin in patients with various degrees of buried penis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A combined series of 74 patients 7 months to 10 years old who were treated for buried penis at 2 institutions during a 7-year period. Patients presented with various symptoms, including balanitis, urinary tract infection, painful voiding, ballooning of the foreskin and urinary retention. In 29 patients (38%) trapped penis was due to previous circumcision. In our estimation the major anatomical defect in buried penis is an insufficient attachment of the dartos fascia and penile skin to Buck's fascia. Our technique involves making a circumferential incision of the inner preputial skin layer proximal to the corona, unfurling it from the shaft skin and leaving a coronal collar of approximately 1 cm. The annular band that usually constricts the corpora on retraction of the penile skin is incised, and the remaining proximal penile skin and dartos fascia are dissected off Buck's fascia proximally to the base of the penis. The penile dermis is sutured to the lateral aspect of the tunica albuginea at the penopubic junction and mid shaft of the penis. This technique restores normal anatomical relationships with excellent cosmetic results and negligible complications. RESULTS: At a median 5-year followup cosmesis was excellent in all cases. Two patients with micropenis who required revision responded to endocrine therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Excellent cosmetic results were obtained in all cases using this surgical technique.
