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.

Abstract Introduction Testosterone deficiency affects approximately 4-5 million men in the United States. The bidirectional association between testosterone deficiency and metabolic syndrome has been well-established. The diagnosis of testosterone deficiency should serve as a trigger for medical evaluation of other comorbidities. Furthermore, male sex is an independent predictor of decreased routine health maintenance; men are 40% less likely to have a primary care provider (PCP) compared to women in the United States. Thus, many patients who present to the urologist for symptomatic testosterone deficiency might have undiagnosed or poorly managed comorbidities coupled with a lack of a PCP. Objective We sought to investigate the impact of offering primary care access within an integrated Men’s Health Center to men presenting for initial evaluation of symptomatic testosterone deficiency. Methods This is a retrospective single institution study. All new patients presenting with testosterone deficiency between October 2019 and October 2022 were offered evaluation by a PCP within a university-based Men’s Health Center. Patients who were seen by the PCP underwent standard health screening and blood work including a lipid profile, liver function testing, and diabetes screening with hemoglobin (Hgb) A1c. All data were collected from the electronic medical record and deidentified. Institutional review board (IRB) exemption was obtained. Variables collected for analysis included age, race, body mass index (BMI), testosterone level on presentation, prior access to a pre-existing PCP, and number of visits attended with our PCP. Outcomes measured include new diagnoses made by the PCP and referral patterns to other specialties. All statistical analysis was conducted utilizing SPSS version 28. Results 81 men were evaluated over the 3-year study period. Median age was 49.0 (range: 21.2-93.7 years). 48 men (59%) established continuity of care and were seen by our PCP for more than 1 visit. 33 men (41%) did not have a pre-existing PCP. Older men were significantly more likely to have a pre-existing PCP (OR 1.06 [95% CI: 1.02-1.10], p<0.001). Hispanic men were significantly less likely to have an existing PCP (OR 0.16 [95% CI: 0.03-0.84], p=0.01). Newly diagnosed comorbidities included hypertension (41%), obesity (37%), hyperlipidemia (27%), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; 25%), depression (23%), and diabetes (14%). 41 patients (51%) were prescribed a new medication. 21 patients (26%) were referred to nutrition, with mean BMI decrease of 1.75. 26 patients (32%) underwent sleep medicine evaluation for OSA. 27 (33%) and 37 patients (46%) received a flu vaccination and immunization updates. 11 patients (14%) were referred for screening colonoscopy. Patients who established continuity of care were significantly more likely to be treated for a new diagnosis (p<0.001) and receive a flu vaccination (p=0.007; Table 1). Conclusions This is the first report of integrated primary care and urology evaluation for testosterone deficiency. This comprehensive model results in improved outcomes including increased access to subspecialty referrals, objective weight loss, treatment of new diagnoses, updated immunizations, and cancer screening. Further studies are needed to assess reproducibility across other institutions, cost-effectiveness of this model, and patient satisfaction.

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.

Abstract Introduction Intralesional Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is approved for men with Peyronie’s Disease (PD). Most studies use curve improvement ≥ 20% to define treatment success. Objective Here, we sought to further characterize objective and subjective treatment outcomes with CCH. Methods We reviewed our prospectively maintained database for all patients who underwent CCH at our institution from 2013 through the present. We specifically identified those who completed four series of CCH (or elected to discontinue prior to completing four series due to satisfactory penile straightening or lack of results) and had available curvature assessment data. Treatment outcomes were broken down by level of curve improvement (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and > 40% improvement). Treatment success was also evaluated by improvements in the ability to engage in penetrative sexual intercourse and perceived surgery avoidance. Statistical analyses were performed using JMP Pro 14.1.0 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Results 127 patients had complete data available. The mean age was 57 years (SD 8.4). The mean PD duration was 27 months (SD 59). The mean baseline curvature was 66.1O, and the mean post-treatment curvature was 45.1O (p<0001). The mean curvature improvement was 32% (SD 33). 68% of patients achieved a 20% or greater improvement in penile curvature, including 38% who achieved ≥ 40% improvement. 72% (n=48/67) felt that CCH prevented the need for surgery, and 68% reported CCH restored the ability to penetrate. Stretched flaccid penile length (SPL) increased by ≥ 1 cm in 50% of patients who used concurrent penile traction (PTT) and CCH, including 28% of patients who experienced ≥ 2 cm of length gain. In contrast, only 16% of patients who did not perform concurrent PTT had a ≥ 1 cm increase in SPL (p<0.0001). Conclusions CCH may restore the ability to penetrate with intercourse, and most patients feel that CCH prevents the need for surgery. Almost 40% of patients experienced a 40% or greater curvature improvement. However, 13% of patients may go through the entire series with minimal improvement. Concurrent PTT allows for simultaneous penile length gain in some patients. These data are helpful when counseling patients on expected outcomes. Disclosure No
