Abstract

As an important area of penis surgeries, remarkable progress has been made with regard to the surgical technologies for penile augmentation operation in parallel with men’s attention and desire to have bigger penis as well as corresponding medical demands. This surgery, however, has been referred with different surgical nomenclature given that, first, it is in its developmental stage; second, there are no established indications of the operation; and, third, no standardized surgical procedures were reported (Table 1.1). At this point, the operation is being limited from widespread applications due to, first, hesitation to the operation that has not been certified by relevant societies, e.g., ISSM; second, indiscriminate advertisements by some doctors; third, no critical necessity for penile augmentation; and, fourth, negative medical views on penile augmentation procedures due to varying rates of success for operations and serious complications, possibly owing to nonestablished surgical techniques. It is however warranted to pursue positive/active approaches and forward thinking as the operation is not only to fulfill the desires of men who want to have bigger penis but also to accomplish the primary objective for the correction of penile deformity.
