This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure and is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims, 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b).

A male sexual impotence treatment apparatus includes an elongate adjustable constriction member extending in a loop around a male patient's penile tissue or the prolongation thereof. An adjustment device adjusts the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop to temporarily constrict the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof to restrict the penile exit blood flow to achieve erection. A layer of a soft viscoelastic material is applied on the constriction member such that it is located between the constriction member and the patient's penile tissue or the prolongation thereof at least along a portion of the constriction member to protect the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof from being eroded by the constriction member. The layer has an inwardly directed radial extension in the loop such that, when the adjustment device is operated to decrease the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop, the soft layer is forced to expand radially inwardly in the loop causing a corresponding increased constriction of the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof.

In particular, various techniques are described for providing such stimulation in order to treat sexual dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or other disorders. In some embodiments, the stimulation may be provided to the prostate gland to cause erection or ejaculation in order to treat various sexual dysfunctions. In other embodiments, the stimulation may comprise a training sequence of pulses selected to train and modify the cellular structure of the prostate gland in order to treat BPH or similar prostate disorders.

Erection control system of the invention overcomes known deficiencies of vacuum constriction devices, especially cumbersomness, technical difficulties and painfulness. A penis-shaped vacuum chamber (12) adapted for unnoticeable operation under user's cloth. Removably placed penile seal (14) and a baffle (16) are adjustable to the user's penile girth and provide attachment so that the vacuum chamber hangs on the user's penis without additional support. A ribbon-shaped constriction device (26) is wound with multiple turns over each other to form a cylindrical ring, retained by the belt (28) for exerting a prearranged inward radial pressure. A transferring device with the pulling loop (40) dislodges constriction device together with removably placed penile seal and baffle onto erect penis with simultaneous release of vacuum without additional mechanisms. The removably placed penile seal, the baffle, the belt are formed from segments of a condom. A method of vacuum erection treatment with a vacuum chamber, removable seal, a vacuum source and constriction device, in which forcible slip off of the constriction device onto erected penis causes slip off of the removable seal with simultaneous vacuum release in the vacuum chamber has been proposed.

Light energy, preferably at a wavelength of 884 nanometers, is applied to the genitalia area of male and female humans and animals to treat erectile sexual dysfunction. The light causes the release of nitric oxide into the erectile genitalia tissue, and the nitric oxide causes the smooth erectile tissue to relax and engorge, thereby facilitating erection. Separately structured applicators for males and females optimize the degree of light energy penetration and the amount of nitric oxide released according to the separate physiology of males and females. The light energy may be used to augment a pharmacologically-induced release of nitric oxide.

A single-use, disposable condom utilizes a fully customizable and adjustable tension band to apply clamping pressure around and about the base of an erect penis in order to facilitate maximal corporal veno-occlusive function, thereby enabling a stronger erection, as well as for custom tightening at the base of the penis without completely restricting flow. To prevent re-use of the condom and tension band, the tension band includes manually operable fasteners that can be permanently attached and bonded to the base of the condom sheath itself after the tension band has been adjusted. The bond between the tension band and the sheath is sufficiently strong enough to resist separation forces that exceed the rupture strength of the condom sheath and the breaking force of the tension band. In one embodiment, the tension band includes one or more lobes that selectively focus clamping pressure onto the dorsal vein and thereby restrict the drainage of venous blood from engorged penile tissue.

Disclosed herein is a method of phalloplasty for girth enhancement. It comprises incising minimally the outer skin of a penis; separating the skin and the hypoderm from a part immediately above Buck's fascia and peeling off the skin and the hypoderm in a region ranging from a part proximal to a glans to prepubic junction; forming a mesh structure of multiple slits in a penile implant; and fixing the penile implant to the penis by suture. The formation of a mesh structure of multiple slits or the use of an implant in multiple pieces makes it possible to cope with complications, thereby significantly reducing complications. Also, the multiple slits or multiple pieces form spaces therebetween, which lead to an increase in flexibility between the implant tissues, thereby enjoying the advantages of minimizing discomfort upon erection and reducing the occurrence of penis curvature. The delicate irregularities of the penis may serve as a factor promoting sexual stimulation upon sexual intercourse. Also, upon carvenosal injection therapy for erectile dysfunction, drugs for inducing erections can be easily injected into the space between the multiple slits or multiple pieces.
