Survey of the quality and origins of websites on penile low-intensity shockwave therapy in Canada
CONCLUSIONS: LISWT is readily advertised online for ED and PD patients in Canada; however, only a minority use a focused shockwave generator. There is a wide diversity of practitioners offering LISWT. Websites offering LISWT are generally of poor quality and do not provide adequate information for patients to make educated treatment decisions.PMID:37549347 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8303 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Non-surgical therapies for Peyronie's disease
CONCLUSIONS: There is little evidence supporting the effectiveness of most non-surgical treatments for Peyronie's disease. Existing trials are mostly of poor methodological quality and/or fail to address patient-centered outcomes. Injectional collagenase appears to have some effectiveness; however, many individuals may not experience the improvement as clinically relevant, and this comes with the risk of increased adverse events. There is a critical need for better non-surgical treatment options for men with Peyronie's disease.PMID:37490423 | PMC:PMC10351344 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD012206.pub2 (Source: Cochrane Database o...

Re: Author Reply to Editorial Comment
We thank the editor for their commentary on our study exploring the landscape of direct-to-consumer men's health clinics offering treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie's disease (PD). We appreciate the emphasis on the importance of evidence-based medicine and the potential risks and limitations of alternative treatments such as stem cell, shockwave, and platelet-rich plasma therapy.

Increasing Role of the Advanced Practice Provider in Men's Health Clinics: An Analysis of Medicare and Commercial Claims in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: The role of APPs in men's urologic health is increasing for both privately and publicly insured patient populations. APPs play a critical role in urologic care and can help to improve access to men's health.PMID:37167418 | DOI:10.1097/UPJ.0000000000000402 (Source: Pain Physician)

R “What is the angle of a banana? The difficulty in reliable assessment of hypospadias chordee”
I have read with interest the manuscript written by Cooper et al. [1] entitled “What is the angle of a banana? The difficulty in reliable assessment of hypospadias chordee”. In which they reported “hypospadias chordee is often not a discrete angulation, but rather it is often an arc-like curvature similar to that of a banana. In this manner, penile curvature associated w ith hypospadias may differ from that seen in Peyronie's disease, where a fibrotic plaque may cause a fixed angulation. In the latter case, it's possible that a discrete angulation may be more reliably measured with a goniometer compared to the curvat...

Study protocol for a prospective, multi-centered randomized controlled trial comparing pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy with conventional robotic-assisted prostatectomy: The PARTIAL trial
CONCLUSION: If PFS-RARP is non-inferior to RARP in terms of cancer control and has better functional outcomes, it should be the surgical standard of care for men with localized prostate cancer. Using the innovative two-stage consent process, completion of the trial will not only provide much needed evidence on one of the most common cancer surgeries but also insight on improving surgical RCT methodology. Trial status This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05155501; first posted on December 13, 2021); Institutional approval number: WCM IRB # 21-07023781, BRANY's initial approval event ID # 186333. The trial is n...
