Since their popularization,genitourinary prosthetics have remained a gold-standard therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence and in cases of testicular loss or dysfunction.They have also represented an area of significant innovation,which has contributed to excellent long-term outcomes.Given this history,the objective of the current review was to provide a 5-10-year outlook on anticipated trends and developments in the field of genitourinary prosthetics.To accomplish this objective,a PubMed and patent search was performed of topics relating to penile and testicular prostheses and urinary sphincters.In regard to penile prostheses,findings demonstrated several new concepts including temperature-sensitive alloys,automated pumps,devices designed specifically for neophalluses,and improved malleable designs.With artificial urinary sphincters,new concepts include the ability to add or remove fluid from an existing system,two-piece systems,and new mechanisms to occlude the urethra.For testicular prosthetics,future implementations may not only better replicate the feel of a biological testicle but also add endocrinological functions.Beyond device innovation,the future of prosthetics is also one of expanding geographic boundaries,which necessitates variable cost modeling and regulatory considerations.Surgical trends are also changing,with a greater emphasis on nonnarcotic,postoperative pain control,outpatient surgeries,and adjunctive techniques to lengthen the penis and address concomitant stress incontinence,among others.Concomitant with device and surgical changes,future considerations also include a greater need for education and training,particularly given the rapid expansion of sexual medicine into developing nations.

The transition from spermatogonia to spermatocytes and the initiation of meiosis are key steps in spermatogenesis and are precisely regulated by a plethora of proteins.However,the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown.Here,we report that
