Penis

50.8K
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

31.3K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

5.2K
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

For papillary thyroid cancer, a new "super-superselective" dissection of lymph node level VB is proposed. This approach aims to reduce risks associated with traditional level V dissection while managing metastatic lymph nodes effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Therapeutic lateral neck dissection is standard for papillary thyroid cancer with metastatic lymph nodes.
  • Current guidelines recommend dissection of specific lymph node levels, including VB.
  • Level V dissection presents challenges due to variable lymph node involvement and risks to the spinal accessory nerve.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the complexities of level VB dissection in papillary thyroid cancer.
  • To present a novel surgical approach for managing level VB lymph node metastasis.
  • To offer a perspective on the surgical management of level VB.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a narrative review of existing literature.
  • It analyzes the controversies and risks associated with level V dissection.
  • A new surgical concept for level VB dissection is introduced.

Main Results:

  • The review highlights the ongoing debate regarding the extent of lymph node involvement in level V.
  • A novel "super-superselective" partial dissection technique for level VB is proposed.
  • This approach is suggested for patients with clinical disease in levels IIA, III, and IV.

Conclusions:

  • Management of level VB in papillary thyroid cancer requires careful consideration of oncologic and functional outcomes.
  • The proposed partial dissection technique may offer a safer alternative for selected patients.
  • Further research is needed to validate the efficacy and safety of this approach.
