Human male reproductive system. Scrotoplasty, also known as oscheoplasty, is a type of surgery to create or repair the scrotum.

[1] The development of testicular implants began in 1940 made from materials outside of what is used today.
Male slings are an alternative for mild to moderate post-prostatectomy incontinence. [12] [13] Retrograde ejaculation due to injury of the prostatic urethra. This is one of the most frequent complications of the procedure, occurring in about 65% of patients. [14] Bladder neck stenosis.

Less-invasive variants of the sling operation have been shown to be equally effective in treating stress incontinence as surgical sling operations. [15] One such surgery is urethropexy. [citation needed] Insertion of a sling through the vagina (rather than by opening the lower abdomen) is called intravaginal slingplasty (IVS). [medical citation ...
When operating a pelvic organ prolapse, introducing a mid-urethral sling during or after surgery seems to reduce stress urinary incontinence. [13] Transvaginal repair seems to be more effective than transanal repair in posterior wall prolapse, but adverse effects cannot be excluded. [14] According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare ...
Additionally, despite the novel treatment options (slings, urethral bulking injections, stem-cell therapy), AUS is considered to be the gold standard surgical management both for stress incontinence in men and for urinary incontinence developed as a complication of surgery, such as prostatectomy, cystectomy and TURP.
