"The American Urological Association, Inc.® (AUA) considers injection of fat cells for increasing penile girth (width) to be a procedure which has not been shown to be safe or effective.
The AUA also considers the cutting of the suspensory ligament of the penis for increasing penile length in adults to be a procedure that has not been shown to be safe or effective."
Glossary of Terms

| Circumcision
in men and the prevention of HIV infection: a 'meta-analysis' revisited.
O'Farrell N, Egger M.
Department of Genitourinary Medicine, Milne Clinic, Bristol Royal
Infirmary, UK.
There is debate on the role of male circumcision in HIV transmission.
Most case-control and cohort studies from Africa have shown an association
between a lack of circumcision and an increased risk of HIV infection
in men. The evidence is conflicting, however, with cross-sectional
surveys from Tanzania and Rwanda either showing no relationship
or an association in the opposite direction. A recent review and
meta-analysis of the literature concluded that the risk of HIV infection
was lower in uncircumcised men (combined odds ratio 0.94, 95% confidence
interval 0.89 to 0.99). However, the analysis was performed by simply
pooling the data from 33 diverse studies, which is an inappropriate
method for combining studies. We re-analysed the data, stratifying
by study, and found that an intact foreskin was associated with
an increased risk of HIV infection: combined odds ratio 1.43 (1.32
to 1.54) with a fixed effect model and 1.67 (1.25 to 2.24) with
a random effect model. There was significant between-study heterogeneity
(P<0.0001) which was partly explained by stronger associations
in studies in high-risk groups. The results from this re-analysis
thus support the contention that male circumcision may offer protection
against HIV infection, particularly in high-risk groups where genital
ulcers and other STDs 'drive' the HIV epidemic. A systematic review
is required to clarify this issue. Such a review should be based
on an extensive search for relevant studies, published and unpublished,
and should include a careful assessment of the design and methodological
quality of studies. Much emphasis should be given to the exploration
of possible sources of heterogeneity. In view of the continued high
prevalence and incidence of HIV in many countries in sub-Saharan
Africa, the question of whether circumcision could contribute to
prevent infections is of great importance, and a sound systematic
review of the available evidence should be performed without delay.
