A Multi-institutional Assessment of Multimodal Analgesia in Penile Implant Recipients Demonstrates Dramatic Reduction in Pain Scores and Narcotic Usage.
Despite the pain associated with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation, there has been a lack of standardized, nonopioid pain control regimens described to date. ⋯ The use of a MMA protocol significantly reduces postoperative pain measures in penile implant recipients and further reduces both inpatient and outpatient narcotic usage without any discernable side effects.

The World Health Organization's general assembly, in its last meeting of May 2019, has approved the suggested changes to the International Classification of Diseases manual, 11th version (ICD-11). Some of the proposed recommendations include the revision of "Disorders of Sexual Preference", now called Paraphilic Disorders, currently listed under the International Classification of Diseases-10 Mental and Behavioural Disorders. ⋯ Compared with the ICD-10, the categories and definitions in ICD-11 should not create any additional obstacles nor offer any direct positive consideration, as the diagnostic classifications of mental disorders (ICD or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) are not relevant to the definition of criminal sexual acts in Lebanon.
