Antonini Guest of the Colombian Society of Urology

Innovation in Techniques for Peyronie’s Disease and Penile Prosthetic Surgery
Bucaramanga, Colombia, August 2024 – Dr. Gabriele Antonini, an internationally renowned urologist and andrologist, was recently invited to Bucaramanga by the Colombian Society of Urology for an event of significant medical importance. During his stay in Colombia, Dr. Antonini had the opportunity to deliver two presentations that captivated the urological community with their innovative and effective approaches to complex urological conditions.

The first of these presentations focused on the Scratch technique for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease, a pathological condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue within the penis, leading to abnormal and often painful curvature during erection. The Scratch technique, pioneered by Dr. Antonini, represents a minimally invasive and highly effective method for correcting the curvature and improving the quality of life for patients afflicted by this condition.

The second presentation, equally noteworthy, addressed the infrapubic surgical technique for the implantation of the tricomponent hydraulic penile prosthesis. This cutting-edge surgical procedure, developed by Dr. Antonini, offers an advanced solution for the treatment of severe erectile dysfunction. The infrapubic approach significantly reduces post-operative recovery time and lowers the risk of complications, while also enhancing the aesthetic and functional outcomes for patients. The tricomponent hydraulic penile prosthesis is the gold standard in this field, providing patients with a highly discreet and effective solution to restore natural erectile function.
Dr. Antonini’s presentations in Bucaramanga garnered significant interest, reaffirming his role as a leader in the research and development of innovative techniques in urology and andrology. His collaboration with the Colombian Society of Urology marks an important step forward in the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of surgical techniques on a global scale.
