Venous Ligation: A Novel Strategy for Glans Enhancement in Penile Prosthesis Implantation

Table 1

Summary of 35 implant patients who underwent venous ligation for penile enhancement in implant patients.

Grouping	Patients		Circumference of glans corona; Manual measurement (mm)			Radius of glans penis; Manual measurement (mm)			Corporal length; Surgery (mm)	Corporeal length; X-ray (mm)	Satisfaction rate; Number/available; (%)
	Number	Age	Preop	Postop; (1 day)	Postop; (1 year)	Preop	Postop; (1 day)	Postop; (1 year)
Enhancing	15	37–75	112.7 ± 15.8								11/12 (91.7)
Control	20	41–75	113.6 ± 13.2								8/15 (53.3)
Total	35
		NS*	0.55	<0.05	<0.01	NS*	NS*	<0.01	NS*	NS*	<0.01

NS stands for not significant with value of greater than 0.05.
Univariate comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney test as necessary for parameters with continuous values and Fisher’s exact test with discontinuous parameters.
