Secondary objectives were perioperative surgical outcomes and sexual function according to International Index of Erectile Function-5 score and progression to penile prosthesis (PP). Treatment success and sexual outcomes were also reported according to time of presentation of PIP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 22 (85%) and 4 (15%) patients underwent bilateral and unilateral PSD, respectively. The median duration of priapism was 47 (36.5-58.8) hours, with half of the patients treated after 48\u00a0h. Penoscrotal decompression was successful in 18 (69%) cases, with a higher success rate for bilateral procedures (73%). Immediate penile detumescence was observed in 96% of cases, while 92% had complete pain relief. Efficacy varied with timing, with better outcomes for procedures performed within 36\u00a0h. Two (8%) patients had postoperative complications. Overall, 21 patients had documented sexual function status (median interquartile range follow-up of 10.4 [5.5-28.3] months) with worse ED in those who failed PSD (57% vs. 38%, P\u00a0=\u2009.6). Two out of 13 (15%) patients developed an infection after PP insertion requiring explantation, while 86% reported satisfactory erectile function with or without PP insertion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The variation to the PSD technique herein described has several potential advantages. A penile shaft incision facilitates quicker and more convenient exposure of the corpora, making it accessible for general urologists experienced in penile fracture repair.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Strengths and limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the series with the longest follow-up data on patients treated with PSD for PIP.
