Trends in the utilization of penile prostheses in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in the United States.
This study assessed the national temporal trends in the surgical management of ED utilizing penile prosthesis (PP). It found that the surgical management of ED with PP changed significantly between 2001 and 2010. Also, the overall utilization of PP decreased, but its use in patients with significant medical comorbidities increased.

Risk of myocardial infarction in older men receiving testosterone therapy.
The purpose of this paper was to examine the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in a population-based cohort of older men receiving intramuscular testosterone. The investigators found that older men who were treated with intramuscular testosterone did not appear to have an increased risk of MI. For men with high MI risk, testosterone use was modestly protective against MI.

Long-term results of a randomized controlled trial of a nonoperative strategy (watchful waiting) for men with minimally symptomatic inguinal hernias.
This study of 254 men with minimally symptomatic inguinal hernia who were assigned to watchful waiting (WW) found that WW is a reasonable and safe strategy. However, the study which followed these patients for up to 11.5 years found that symptoms usually progressed and an operation was eventually needed, with 79 percent of men older than 65 and 62 percent of younger men receiving surgical repair.
