Advisories:
Please view our web-site for a copy of your consent form related to the surgery you are anticipating. If you are unable to access a copy, kindly request our office to mail or fax you a copy. All forms are in Acrobat Reader format. Download the reader here:
Then using a printed form, mark it up with any questions or concerns that you might have.
Prior to scheduling please be sure all of your questions and concerns have been answered to your satisfaction.
Be sure to bring the form to your consultation with a list of questions for discussion with Dr. Reed.
Do not schedule or submit any deposits unless you are comfortable with the information presented on these forms.
Do not schedule or submit any deposit if you are contemplating having other surgical procedures within a few weeks of your intended procedure with Dr. Reed, as this is often medically ill advised and your deposit will
not be refunded. If concerned, please discuss this with Dr. Reed beforehand.
Complications that may arise, risks, and potential adverse reactions are mentioned, based upon the knowledge and experience of Dr. Reed, including some conjectured risks.
Please also acquaint yourself with the American Urological Association policy statement relating to Penile Augmentation.
"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
Penis: The male organ used for urination and sex
Suspensory ligament: Band of tissue that holds the penis up against the pubic bone. |

| Susceptibility
to human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection of human foreskin and
cervical tissue grown in explant culture.

Numerous studies have indicated a protective effect of male circumcision
against acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. We
investigated mechanisms responsible for the possible increased HIV-1
susceptibility of human foreskin. Foreskins from eight pediatric
and six adult patients with (n = 3) and without (n = 11) histories
of sexually transmitted disease were evaluated. Six cervical biopsies
from HIV-1-seronegative women were included as controls. CD4(+)
T cells, macrophages, and Langerhans' cells (LCs) were quantified
using image analysis. Cells expressing HIV-1 co-receptors CCR5 and
CXCR4 were quantified using immunofluorescence and image analysis.
Foreskin biopsies were infected ex vivo in organotypic culture with
HIV-1. HIV-1 DNA copies in foreskin and cervical mucosal tissue
were compared and the infected cell phenotype was determined. Foreskin
mucosa contained higher mean proportions of CD4(+) T cells (22.4%),
macrophages (2.4%), and LCs (11.5%) in adults than in children (4.9%,
0.3%, and 6.2%, respectively) or in cervical mucosa (6.2%, 1.4%,
and 1.5%, respectively). The highest proportions of CD4(+) T cells
and LCs occurred in patients with a history of infection. Foreskin
immune cells expressed predominantly the CCR5 HIV-1 co-receptor.
Adult foreskin mucosa had greater susceptibility to infection with
HIV(bal) than cervical mucosa or the external surface of foreskin
tissue. Circumcision likely reduces risk of HIV-1 acquisition in
men by decreasing HIV-1 target cells.
