Background:
Penile length and girth have long been sources of anxiety for men.
Objectives:
The authors sought to measure satisfaction with intercourse and erectile function 3 and 6 months after girth augmentation in patients with semi-rigid penile implants who received autologous fat injections.
Methods:
Thirty married participants in Egypt were recruited and divided into 2 groups between January 2016 and August 2017. Fifteen patients who underwent semi-rigid penile implant insertion and 15 controls all received autologous fat injections and were followed-up for 3 and 6 months.
Results:
Median penile girth increased significantly in both groups, although fat loss was noted after 6 months. There was a positive correlation between the amount of fat injected and the change in penile girth measured 6 months after the procedure in the controls.
Conclusions:
Autologous fat transfer is a simple and safe procedure that can be used to augment penile girth in patients whose girth is less than 11.5 cm after penile prosthesis insertion.

Consider two children sitting on a seesaw, which has negligible mass. The first child has a mass (m1) of 26 kg and sits at point A, which is 1.6 meters (r1) from the pivot point B; the second child has a mass (m2) of 32 kg and sits at point C. How far from the pivot point B should the second child sit (r2) to balance the seesaw?
