Etiologies of penile shortening and narrowing were PD, severe ED, post-radical prostatectomy, and androgen-deprivation therapy with or without brachytherapy or external radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and post-penile fracture in 60.1%, 24.6%, 10.1%, 3.6%, and 2.2%, respectively. In PD cases, the mean deviation of the penile axis was 55\u00b0 (range\u00a0= 0\u201390\u00b0). Mean subjective penile length loss reported was 3.2 cm (range\u00a0= 1\u20135 cm), and shaft constriction was present in 44.9%. Median follow-up was 15.2 months (range\u00a0= 6\u201336 months). Mean penile length gain was 3.1 cm (range\u00a0= 2\u20135 cm). No penile prosthesis infection caused device explantation. One glans necrosis was encountered. The average IIEF score increased from 22 points at baseline to 66 points at 6-month follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MUST helps address penile size issues in cases of severe ED with concomitant conditions that impair penile length or girth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Strengths and Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The strength of the study is its applicability to provide surgeons with a solution for cases in which patients have severe ED and penile size impairment owing to underlying conditions such as PD.
