The AUA 2018 sexual dysfunction take-home messages also included a novel end-to-side nerve grafting procedure for men with post-radical-prostatectomy ED as well as the finding that use of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor does not appear to change the adverse effect profile of flibanserin (Addyi).

To help you sift the enormous scientific program and prioritize your schedule at the AUA annual meeting, the editors have called upon Urology Times’ editorial advisory board to identify the key research across multiple areas of the specialty.

In this article, we describe our thought processes in treating patients with Peyronie's disease, which are summarized in an algorithm.

There are no national or international guidelines regarding penile transplants, raising a question without a concrete answer: What are the rules and the limits?
