dc.description.abstractIntroduction Penile augmentation or penis enlargement surgery refers to any technique aimed at enhancing penile length or girth. These male enhancement surgical techniques can increase total penile length, either flaccid or erect, while others add to the penile shaft's girth and/or glans size. Proposed strategies include physical methods such as various penile exercises, mechanical traction devices, and medical therapy, while surgical interventions include cosmetic and phallic reconstructive techniques and use of fillers, sleeves, grafts, and flaps to augment penile size.Objectives The International Consultation on Sexual Medicine (ICSM) consensus statements provide evidence-based recommendations and aim to guide a clinical framework in penile aesthetic and augmentation.Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify published literature relevant to penile augmentation or enhancement. Preliminary consensus was presented to the delegates attending the 5th ICSM meeting, and feedback was incorporated into the final document.Results Twenty new recommendations are provided with corresponding levels of evidence and grades of recommendation.Conclusions Due to the controversies and lack of longer-term data regarding penile augmentation and cosmetic procedures, comprehensive assessments and careful patient counseling weighing the pros and cons, as well as potential complications, are mandatory before embarking on any treatment. Surgeons should be experienced in anatomy and various surgical techniques, and it is important to individualize surgical options based on patient condition(s) and needs, surgeon expertise, and local resources.
