Meeting the growing demand: an operational blueprint for a 1500-case-per-year penile implant center of excellence.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The global demand for inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery continues to rise, yet little guidance exists on how mature, ultra-high-volume centers sustain efficiency, safety, and workflow at scale. Drawing on the experience of a single-surgeon center that performed more than 1500 primary inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantations, this perspective outlines the operational philosophy and practical architecture that enabled such volume. The model relies on extreme task specialization within a 13-member team, a streamlined triage and consultation pathway, strict pre-operative standardization, and tightly choreographed surgical logistics using two dedicated operating rooms. Long-standing collaboration among team members enables procedure times of approximately 40 min and supports a daily schedule of 7-15 cases. Prospective patient tracking and consistent postoperative protocols contribute to exceptionally low infection and mechanical revision rates. By describing the elements that enable this level of surgical throughput, rather than presenting these practices as a rigid template, this Perspective aims to stimulate discussion on how high-volume principles can be adapted to diverse clinical environments and how procedural specialization may shape the future of prosthetic urology.
