Abstract Introduction Climacturia, the inadvertent leak of urine during orgasm, is a well-known complication following radical prostatectomy and can cause significant patient/partner bother. The Mini-Jupette sling treats climacturia during placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) but requires an extended corporotomy with a complex closure. Our modified Mini-Jupette technique utilizes a standard corporotomy and places the sling inferior as opposed to integrated into the corporotomy. Additionally, we perform an intraoperative drip test for urethral occlusion, which eliminates the need for guessing on sling tension. Corset sutures can then be utilized intraoperatively or in future revision surgeries in the event of sling loosening or recurrent climacturia. Objective To visually demonstrate the modified mini-jupette technique and intraoperative drip test. Methods An IPP surgical candidate with climacturia was identified. Intraoperative video of the Mini-Jupette technique was recorded using an overhead camera. The Mini-Jupette sling is placed with four vertical Ethibond (00) sutures placed inferior to the corporotomy stay sutures. The drip test is set up by retracting the catheter to the distal urethra and connecting it to a bedside irrigation system set 60cm above the patient. Stoppage of fluid flow during IPP inflation indicates that the sling is appropriately occluding the urethra. Results Successful demonstration of a modified Mini-Jupette technique and intraoperative drip test without complications. Conclusions Our modified Mini-Jupette and intraoperative drip test provide a reasonable alternative to the standard Mini-Jupette technique.

(186) Modified Extra-Tunical Grafting for Peyronie's Disease Associated Indentation Deformity
Abstract Introduction Peyronie’s disease is characterized by penile plaque or scar within the tunica albuginea. This results in penile deformity, most commonly penile curvature but also volume loss deformity such as hourglass or indentation. This volume loss occurs in up to 65% of men with Peyroine’s disease. Surgical management for patients with significant deformity includes plaque incision/partial excision and penile grafting with an absorbable grafting material. In the original description of extra-tunical grafting, the grafting material was placed over Buck’s fascia via a ventral longitudinal incision. In our modified technique, the grafting material is placed under Buck’s fascia and superficial to the tunica albuginea, which allows the grafting material to be less palpable in the flaccid condition. Objective To demonstrate a modified approach to Extra-Tunical Grafting for peyronie’s disease indentation deformity. Methods Intra-operative video of modified extra-tunical grafting was recorded with an overhead surgical camera. Results Successful modified extra-tunical grafting with excellent penile straightening and restoration of penile girth and minimal palpability of the graft. Conclusions Our modified extra-tunical grafting technique is a reasonable option compared to the standard grafting technique Disclosure Any of the authors act as a consultant, employee or shareholder of an industry for: Coloplast.
(409) Low Transfascial Fixation of the IPP Reservoir
Abstract Introduction Inflatable penile prosthesis reservoir herniation or migration may occur with space of Retzius or submuscular placement. The dangers of high submuscular placement include bowel or bladder perforation (from blind instrument passage) and or bowel herniation (from unintentional peritoneal placement and stretching of small opening with reservoir filling). Even under direct vision submuscular placement, reservoirs can ultimately reside into the scrotum, retroperitoneum, and lateral abdominal wall. The Transfascial Fixation (TFF) technique was recently developed to prevent reservoir migration with placement either submuscularly or in the space of Retzius, but video of this technique has not been previously published. Objective To visually demonstrate the proper surgical technique of TFF during IPP reservoir placement. Methods An IPP surgical candidate at high risk of complications should reservoir migration occur was identified. Video of TFF technique performed during IPP surgery was recorded using an in-light overhead camera and a GoPro aseptically positioned on the lead surgeon. Results Successful demonstration of TFF technique during IPP placement. Conclusions TFF technique is a feasible option to aid prevention of penile implant reservoir herniation.

(408) THALIA Technique Fixation of the IPP Reservoir
Abstract Introduction Inflatable penile prosthesis reservoir herniation or migration may occur with space of Retzius or submuscular placement. The dangers of high submuscular placement include bowel or bladder perforation (from blind instrument passage) and or bowel herniation (from unintentional peritoneal placement and stretching of small opening with reservoir filling). Even under direct vision submuscular placement, reservoirs can ultimately reside into the scrotum, retroperitoneum, and lateral abdominal wall. The Tubing, Hitch And Lasso, Intussusception Anchor (THALIA) technique was recently developed to prevent reservoir migration with placement either submuscularly or in the space of Retzius, but video of this technique has not been previously published. Objective To visually demonstrate the proper surgical technique of THALIA during IPP reservoir placement. Methods An IPP surgical candidate at high risk of complications should reservoir migration occur was identified. Video of THALIA technique performed during IPP surgery was recorded using an in-light overhead camera and a GoPro aseptically positioned on the lead surgeon. Results Successful demonstration of THALIA technique during IPP placement. Conclusions THALIA technique is a feasible option to aid prevention of penile implant reservoir herniation.

(216) Insufficient Medical School Sexual Health Curriculum Leads to Inadequately Prepared Trainees
Abstract Introduction Sexual Health Curriculum (SHC) in medical schools has been insufficiently training medical students for many years. While most medical schools report teaching a SHC, many medical students and residents report being inadequately trained in sexual health. This has led to infrequent physician screening for sexual problems due to insufficient knowledge and a lack of training about sexual function and dysfunction. Objective To investigate the current body of literature for changes in SHC in medicals schools in the last 20 years, and to identify any discrepancies between SHC taught in medical school and resident and medical student comfort in treating Sexual Health Dysfunction. Methods A literature review was conducted in PubMed on “sexual health education in medical school”, and of 16,962 results 37 relevant papers published in the U.S. and Europe were identified and analyzed. Results In 2003 86% of medical schools reported teaching over 3 hours of SHC, but by 2021 only 65% of students and 50% of PGY 4/5 Urology residents recalled a dedicated SHC in medical school. Consistently 50% of medical students are unsatisfied with their SHC, 52% are rarely or never evaluated on their sexual history taking skills, and 7% report not learning about human sexuality at all. Most German medical students believe that sexual health courses should be mandatory. Medical students have overall positive attitudes towards sexual and gender minority populations but lack adequate knowledge, especially about transgender and intersex health. Only 55% of 3rd/4th year OBGYN residents reported feeling comfortable in performing a targeted sexual dysfunction exam, and 66% of residents in Family Med, IM, OBGYN, and Psych had no previous educational experience in sexual problem management. Conclusions Sexual health curriculum in medical schools has not significantly improved in the last 20 years, leading to students and residents inadequately prepared to treat sexual health dysfunctions. The adoption of previously proposed SHC competencies for medical schools should be strongly considered.
