  • Penile Necrosis, Military Medicine, and South Korean Participation in the Vietnam War, 1964–1973
    East Asian Science Technology and Society: An International Journal, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jane S. H. Kim
    Abstract:

    This article examines the Korean medical history of the Vietnam War, particularly, the sexual activities and venereal disease control of the Republic of Korea Forces in Vietnam (ROKFV). For Ch'ae Myŏngsin, the commander of the ROKFV, the largest overseas military dispatch in the history of the South Korean military was an occasion to raise the profile of the infant Republic of Korea in the eyes of the world. However, the occasion also warranted possible sexual contact between South Korean soldiers and Vietnamese civilians and created potential complications. To caution the South Korean men away from Vietnamese women, Ch'ae circulated a mythical story about a fatal venereal disease endemic to Southeast Asia that specifically targets male genitalia. Using the theory of subimperialism and postcolonial readings of gender and colonialism, this article reads Ch'ae's story of Penile Necrosis against ROKFV records on sexual activities and venereal disease control to show how, in regulating sexual desires and bodily activities, the South Korean state came to replicate the colonizing practices of colonizers and reproduce imperialism as subimperialism in Cold War Asia.

  • Safety and Efficacy of Occlusion of Large Extra-Prostatic Anastomoses During Prostatic Artery Embolization for Symptomatic BPH
    CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Gregory Amouyal, Pierre Chague, Olivier Pellerin, Helena Pereira, Carole Déan, Nicolas Thiounn, Costantino Giudice, Marc Sapoval
    Abstract:

    Introduction During PAE, preembolization angiography of the prostatic artery can show large extra-prostatic shunts, at high risk, if embolized, of rectal or Penile Necrosis. We report our experience with 11 consecutive patients who underwent protective embolization of large extra-prostatic shunts before successful PAE. Materials and Methods We treated 11 consecutive male patients (mean age 67 years), part of a series of 55 consecutive male patients referred for PAE to treat LUTS due to BPH, between December 2013 and January 2015. The procedure involved the exclusion of an extra-prostatic shunt originating from the PA, prior to complete bilateral PAE. We compared the safety and efficacy of the 11 shunt exclusions followed by embolization of the PA to the other 44 basic PAE. Clinical success was defined as a decrease of 25 % or eight points of IPSS, QoL

  • Penile Necrosis secondary to purpura fulminans: a case report and review of literature.
    Journal of surgical case reports, 2017
    Co-Authors: David B. Hogarth, Paul Cheon, Javeed Kassam, Alexander Seal, Alexander Kavanagh
    Abstract:

    We report the case of a 60-year-old Hispanic male with widespread necrotic purpuric lesions involving the Penile, suprapubic, inguinal and hip dermis due to purpura fulminans. Purpura fulminans describes a rare syndrome involving intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction of the skin; this rapidly progressing syndrome features vascular collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulation. This patient's Penile Necrosis involved the majority of the Penile shaft and glans penis, and ultimately required partial glansectomy and repeated debridement for treatment. Subsequently, full thickness skin grafting was completed for reconstruction with good effect. While reports of Penile Necrosis secondary to various causes are documented in the literature, no prior reports describe Penile Necrosis secondary to purpura fulminans.
