Penile enhancement with XXXX and testicular tunica vaginalis grafts: an experimental animal study.

@entity35 @entity121
PURPOSE: To enhance @entity35 penises experimentally with @entity121 ( @entity121 ) and testicular tunica vaginalis grafts (TVG). METHODS: Twelve @entity35 albino @entity35 were distributed into two equal Groups, A and B. There were six @entity35 in each group. @entity121 and TVG were used to enhance @entity35 penises in Groups A and B, respectively. Circumferences of the penises were measured preoperatively and at three different times after the operation. Two, two and eight @entity35 were killed 10  days, 1  month and 2  months after the operation, respectively, for histopathological examinations. RESULTS: When we compared the measurements of preoperative and immediately postoperative circumferences, the mean increase was 23.4      2.9  % in Group A and 19.9      1.7  % in Group B. According to paired t test, the difference was significant (p  <  0001), but the comparison between preoperative and postoperative first-month measurements was not found to be significant (p  >  0.05). Histological examinations revealed an intensive inflammatory process at 10  days after the operation. Grafts were found to be totally absorbed in the first- and second-month examinations. CONCLUSION: In our study, implanted TVG and @entity121 could not survive because of insufficient vascularization and failure to maintain satisfactory surgical success. More studies are needed to increase the effectiveness of surgical techniques.
