Dr. Paul Peritopenile implant

Dr. Paul Perito hosted a collaborative surgical workshop with Dr. Robert Valenzuela today in Coral Gables.

Dr. Valenzuela, with extensive experience implanting the three piece inflatable penile prosthesis, has adopted and refined his own procedure.  He offers many patients a variety of advantages particularly those concerned with curvature and length.  His novel straightening and length preservation techniques are “cutting edge” in the field.  Partly because of the excellent exposure from the sub-coronal incision; the “Modified Slide Technique” offers the patient an alternative to traditional peno-scrotal and infra-pubic procedures. Although, the procedure takes considerably more time, Dr. Valenzuela feels that the benefit to patient is often worth it.  Dr. Valenzuela practices out of New York and is one of the only surgeons currently performing this procedure.

Dr. Paul Peritopenile implant

During this surgical workshop Dr. Perito worked with the expert in male slings Dr. Eugeen Rhee from Kaiser in San Diego where they exchanged ideas and performed the sling procedure on complicated male incontinence cases to improve technique and better outcomes for VIRTUE male sling patients.

The Coloplast Virtue male sling is a less invasive treatment designed for all ranges of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in male patients. It combines technologically advanced design, construction, materials and surgical approach. Virtue is the only male sling that utilizes a unique four-arm approach designed to provide confident compression. The four-arm design and strong mesh made of 100% monofilament polypropylene provide bidirectional compression and elevation of the urethra.

During the SMSNA 2014 in Miami Dr. Perito will host a training event for the VIRTUE male sling where doctors from around the world have signed up better educate themselves on this life changing procedure.

During this event Dr. Perito presented an abstract and presentation of results from his most recent 1000 penile implant cases to members of the Latin American congress of sexology.

The Minimally Invasive Infrapubic Penile Prosthesis:  Our most recent 1000

Objective.  Analysis of a simplified approach for infra-pubic IPP and review of efficacy, post-operative morbidity, and patient return to function.

Methods.  Retrospective review of N = 1032 IPPs (Jan 2010- May 2012) from one surgeon.  All cases were Coloplast Titan 3-piece IPP’s.  823 patients were original implants (80%), 185 revisions (18%) and 29 reimplants (2%).  Patients received similar pre/intra-operative antibiotic prophylaxis (flouroquinolone/hibiclens 24-hours before the procedure and Vancomycin/Gentamycin pre-op).  The Minimally Invasive approach was presented (SMS 12/07), modifications include: no catheter, no dilation unless the “Scratch” technique was utilized, only125cc reservoirs are utilized.  All patients receive a #7 JP drain (removed the following day).  Patients were reviewed post-op for six-weeks.  All complications were reported.

Results. The Minimally Invasive (Perito Penile Implant) technique was easily reproduced in 574(70%) virgin cases.  The remaining 247(30%) virgin cases required ancillary techniques (i.e. Modeling/Scratch).  All revision cases were conducted via infra-pubic technique regardless of initial approach. 11 infections (.94%) occurred and 10 (90%) were successfully salvaged. Two mid urethral injuries occurred and were aborted.  Two patients showed significant scrotal hematoma and required drainage.  No patients experienced glandular anesthesia or hypoesthesia after six-weeks.  (90%) of patients were instructed to resume sexual function at four-weeks and balance of patients by six-weeks.

Conclusion.  The Minimally Invasive infra-pubic IPP is safe, efficacious and offers patients a rapid return to sexual function.  Post-op outcomes mirror clinical literature of other approaches.

In October Dr. Perito will visit both Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paulo Brazil as well as Australia where he will work with their top implanters educating them on new techniques in penile implantation and the treatment of Peyronie’s Disease.

Press Release: Dr. Perito and Coral Gables Hospital Now a Training Facility for the UroLift System Implant Procedure – August 13, 2014

 Coral Gables Hospital Serves as Training Hospital for UroLift® System Implant Procedure
New Implant Offers Relief for Men with Enlarged Prostates 

 

Coral Gables, FL (August 13, 2014) – Coral Gables Hospital is one of only two hospitals in the United States to become a training site for the UroLift® System. This technology is the first permanent implant to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men age 50 or older. The UroLift System treatment lifts or holds the enlarged prostate tissue so that it no longer blocks the urethra.

Dr. Paul Perito, chairman of urology at Coral Gables Hospital, and a renowned expert in men’s health and sexual function, will hold monthly educational sessions for physicians. They will consist of presentations, hands-on training with the device and the opportunity to observe multiple surgical cases.

“The UroLift System is an exciting and unique treatment option for men suffering from an enlarged prostate,” said Paul Perito, MD. “I’m extremely thrilled to train some of the country’s top urologists on this new implant procedure right here at Coral Gables Hospital.”

The UroLift® System, cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2013, is designed to relieve symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate while preserving sexual function. Patients recover from the procedure quickly and return to their normal routines with minimal downtime.

“Our hospital is committed to providing patients with the highest quality, most effective treatment options to address their urological needs,” said Jeffery M. Welch, chief executive officer of Coral Gables Hospital. “We are proud to serve as a training hospital for the UroLift System to help improve the overall quality of life for BPH patients.”

Data from a recent 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients who received UroLift implants reported improved urinary flow rates and sustained sexual function. Any minimally adverse effects were mostly resolved two to four weeks following the procedure. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life.
