Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In Urology, the male external genitalia are symbols of masculinity and loss of such organs can cause signicant mental stress and disruption in the quality of life of the patient as well as his partner. Hence, the need to replace these organs with functional prostheses has been a work in progress since many centuries. Only in the last few decades has seen some real progress. This was largely due to advancements in material science. But sustenance of function and resistance to infection are still formidable challenges.[1]
