Penile Prosthesis Implantation Combined With Grafting Techniques in Patients With Peyronie's Disease and Erectile Dysfunction: A Systematic Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Penile prosthesis (PP) implantation combined with grafting techniques is indicated in patients with Peyronie's disease (PD) and erectile dysfunction (ED) nonresponsive to medical and conservative treatment that present with residual penile curvature greater than 30°, severe penile deformity or significant penile shortening. OBJECTIVES: To address the preoperative evaluation, the surgical procedure and the functional outcomes of grafting techniques combined with PP implantation in patients with PD and concomitant ED and to provide future perspectives on the matter. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of the literature based on the PRISMA statement (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021224517). Records were identified by searching Medline, Scopus, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases as well as sources of gray literature from inception to December 2020. The quality of all included records was assessed based on a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. RESULTS: A total of 935 patients with a mean age of 59.6 ± 9.2 years from 23 studies were included in this systematic review. All studies reported excellent short- and long-term postoperative results, as well as high satisfaction rates ranging from 80 to 100%. A mean increase of 2.7 ± 1.4 cm in penile length was observed. Among different grafting materials and different types of PP, no significant differences in terms of preoperative, perioperative and postoperative functional outcomes or complications were demonstrated. Still, the operative time was shorter in studies applying the collagen fleece TachoSil. CONCLUSIONS: PP implantation combined with grafting is a safe and highly effective surgical procedure in patients with PD and concomitant ED. All grafting materials provide similar beneficial outcomes, but TachoSil subsequently reduces the operative time and does not require suturing. Still, no definite conclusions can be drawn regarding the superiority of one grafting technique over the other, as randomized clinical trials are lacking.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
