Article Abstract
We longitudinally assessed erectile function as well as the willingness to use pro-erectile treatment in a cohort on AAT for advanced RCC. Thirty-seven patients with advanced RCC completed the five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and other interview items before (T0) and 12 weeks into therapy (T12) with AAT. Patients were further asked if they were willing to use and pay out-of-pocket for on-demand treatment with phosphodiesterase-5-inhibitors (PDE-5i). Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric hypothesis testing. The IIEF-5 score at T12 was significantly decreased compared with T0 (p < .001). Subjective patient satisfaction regarding their sexual lives was associated with higher IIEF-5 scores at both time points (p = .006 and p = .03, respectively). At T12, subjective sexual contentment showed a nonsignificant trend towards decline (p = .074). Patients who opted for medical treatment of ED showed significantly better IIEF-5 scores at both time points compared with the rest of the cohort (p < .001 and p = .005, respectively). In summary, AAT seems to have a negative effect on erectile function in RCC patients, however, the role of psychosocial issues warrants further elucidation. Affected patients may benefit from a proactive approach promoting medical treatment of erectile dysfunction during AAT.

Impact of sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors on functional and health-related quality of life outcomes 24 months after radical prostatectomy.
J Cancer Res Clin Oncol

Department of Urology, University Hospital Tübingen, Eberhard Karls University, Hoppe-Seyler Str. 3, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.
Introduction And Objectives: High socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with improved oncological outcomes across various cancer types, including prostate cancer. However, limited evidence exists regarding the impact of SES and lifestyle factors on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including quality of life (QoL), health status (HS), and functional recovery following radical prostatectomy (RP).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of 327 patients undergoing RP (177 open, 150 robotic-assisted) assessing pre- and postoperative functional outcomes (QoL, HS, erectile function, continence).
Erectile Function in Patients With Pelvic Fracture Urethral Injury: What Are the Predictors of Persistent Severe Erectile Dysfunction After Delayed Anastomotic Urethroplasty?

Department of Urology, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan.
Objective: To investigate factors associated with persistent erectile dysfunction (ED) after delayed anastomotic urethroplasty (DAU) in patients with pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI).
Methods: This retrospective study included 57 sexually active male patients who underwent DAU between 2008 and 2023. Erectile function was assessed using the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) questionnaire both preoperatively and at least 12 months postoperatively.

Department of Urology, The Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Wuxi People's Hospital, Wuxi Medical Center, Nanjing Medical University, 214000 Wuxi, Jiangsu, China.
Background: A plethora of studies have demonstrated that the level of uric acid (UA) and gout are the risk factors for erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the causal effect of UA level and gout on ED is still unclear. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to examine the bidirectional causality between ED and UA levels as well as gout.

Department of Urology, National Taiwan University Hospital, 10002 Taipei, Taiwan.
Objective: Conventional penile venous surgery for erection restoration and surgery for penile augmentation have been controversial. Based on de novo penile fibrovascular assembly, we report innovative penile venous stripping (PVS) and factual penile girth enhancement (FPGE).
Methods: From 2013 to 2023, refractory impotence and dysmorphia prompted 31 patients to seek PVS and FPGE, and all of them were confirmed with veno-occlusive dysfunction.
