Geng-Long Hsu
About
In the early 1970s, Geng-Long Hsu was an aircraft mechanic and a student of industrial management at National Chung Kung University in Tainan. After graduating in 1978, he transitioned to a medical career. He received his medical degree from the Medical College of National Taiwan University in 1985 and introduced penile venous stripping in 1986, subsequently completing his urological residency in 1989. He then completed a one-year research fellowship, following a position with esteemed mentors Professor Tom F. Lue and EA Tanaghoo, at the University of California, San Francisco, which he finished in 1992. That same year, Dr. Hsu won the Jean-Paul Ginestie Prize at the 5th World Meeting on Impotence conducted by the International Society of Impotence Research (ISIR) in Milano, Italy, for documenting the three-dimensional architecture of the tunica albuginea in the human penis. The following year, Dr. Hsu was promoted to the inaugural chair of the urology department at Taiwan Adventist Hospital, a position he held until 1997. He then served as vice-superintendent of Po-Jen General Hospital until 2001. From 2001 to 2004, Dr. Hsu was the director of the microsurgery potency reconstruction center at Taipei Medical University Hospital, and then moved to China Medical University in 2008 to conduct a hemodynamic study on forty-eight fresh and defrosted human cadaveric penises. During this time, Dr. Hsu pursued innovative research and published prize-winning papers. In 2010, for example, Dr. Hsu's paper "Penile Veins Were the Determining Contributor For Erection: The Hemodynamic Evidence from the Study in Defrosted Human Cadavers" was awarded second prize at the 3rd World Congress on Controversies in Urology (CURy) held in Athens, Greece. On November 19, 2021, he won the Zorgniotti Newman Prize from the ISSM (International Society of Sexual Medicine) during the 22nd World Meeting on Sexual Medicine. This results from the latest work entitled "The Penile Fibro-vascular Assembly is the Last Remaining Independent Vascular Compartment to be elucidated in the Human Body." Seeking clinical application for his research, Dr. Hsu launched his private practice, Hsu's Andrology, in 2011. However, he never gave up his research; he has since made numerous medical insights into the penile tunica albuginea, the penile fibro-vascular assembly, and physiological aspects of erection. These insights were inspired by and, in turn, enhanced clinical applications, including penile morphology reconstruction, penile implantation, penile vascular surgery, penile erection restoration with a factual girth enhancement, and even penile implant with a glans enhancement unexceptionally via acupunctured-assisted local anesthesia conducted on an ambulatory basis. Exemplified as the penile venous stripping later, Dr. Hsu was granted a USPTO patent on August 14, 2012. For four decades, Dr. Hsu has conducted medical research and performed clinical surgeries to reconstruct penile morphology and restore erection. These anatomy-based male potency reconstructive surgeries are facilitated by the use of a set of essential instruments and, though based on innovative research into the penile fibro-vascular assembly, the surgeries are not without controversy; therefore, Dr. Hsu is deeply committed to disseminating effective surgical solutions for treating impotence, with the goal and hope that the young surgeons can reproduce his methods to the benefit of their practice and their patients. Practice is the exclusive criterion for testing the truth; only evidence can speak volumes. Then, he moves to Puli Christian Hospital to reproduce the young generation publicly. He hopes advanced technology will enhance surgical instruments and methods for restoring human potency, including erection restoration and physiologically factual penile girth enhancement.
