TSMT: Tumescent Stretching Measurement Technique
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Introducing and evaluating the accuracy of a novel method for estimating inflatable penile prosthesis cylinders length by stretching the tumesncent penis intraoperatively instead of taking proximla and distal measurement to the corporotomy

Detailed Description
Objectives:
Introducing and evaluating the accuracy of a novel method for estimating inflatable penile prosthesis cylinders length.
Methods:
24 patients undergoing a Coloplast Titan ® Touch implantation procedure will berandomly divided into two groups.
The "Tumescent Stretching Measurement Technique" (TSMT) group (N=12) will be administered an intracorporal injection (ICI) of 20 microgram Alprostadil. Hegar 7 dilator will be introduced through the corporotomy until reaching a bone stopping point. The tumescent penis will be stretched maximally, and the proximally inserted dilator measured externally to the coronal sulcus.
The control group (N=12) will receive no intraoperative ICI. Following maximal corporal dilatation, cylinder length will be estimated by adding up the internally measured distal and proximal corpora to the length of the corporotomy.
Implants are deemed correctly sized when cylinders reached the proximal third of the glans with no buckling of cylinders or floppy glans.

Active Comparator: Conventional Measurement technique The control group (N=12) will receive no intraoperative ICI. Following maximal corporal dilatation, cylinder length will be estimated conventionally by adding up the internally measured distal and proximal corpora to the length of the corporotomy. |
