He has also studied the effects of apomorphine, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, and other drugs on ED.

Dr Carson has written extensively on male sexual dysfunction, specifically, penile prosthesis infection, Peyronie’s disease, and complications of the vacuum erection device. His work has been published in journals, books, textbooks, monographs, and videotapes. In addition, Dr Carson has developed several instruments and devices, including the Carson zero tip ureteral dilation balloon and the Goldwasser Carson renal tourniquet.

Dr Carson is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of numerous medical organizations, including the American Association of Clinical Urologists, the American Fertility Society, the American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons, the American Surgical Association, and the American Urological Association (AUA). He is Past-President of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, President of the National Foundation for Sexual Health Medicine, President of the Southeast Section of the AUA, and President of the Society of Urologic Prosthetic Surgeons.

Dr Eid received his medical degree from the Medical College of Cornell University. He completed his urological training at the New York Presbyterian Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, both in New York City. Prior to founding Advanced Urological Care, Dr Eid was Associate Professor in the Department of Urology at both Weill-Cornell and Sloan Kettering. During his 10-year tenure at these institutions, Dr Eid was exposed to the most challenging cases of ED, acquiring a focused, unparalleled surgical experience.

In addition to penile implant surgery, Dr Eid is skilled at the medical treatment of ED, surgical correction of incontinence with the artificial urinary sphincter, correction of abnormal penile curvature, treatment of Peyronie’s disease, and cosmetic penile surgery. His main achievement lies in the area of penile implant; Dr Eid’s technique places the scrotal pump in a position that allows the patient to both feel and appear entirely “normal.” Dr Eid gives workshops on these surgical implant techniques all over the world, including Korea, Japan, Australia, and throughout the United States. His state-of-the-art workshops use multimedia techniques—slides, video clips, and live real-time surgeries. Hundreds of practicing urologists, as well as residents, have participated in these events. In the past 18 years, Dr Eid has performed more than 3,000 penile prosthesis implants, averaging more than 150 annually. He is also the first physician to perform a penile implant on the World Wide Web.

His contributions to the literature in the areas of implantation of a penile prosthesis or pharmacotherapy for management of ED include articles published in The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of Urology, and Urology.

Dr Eid has the distinction of being the Founding Member of the Sexual Function Council of the American Foundation of Urological Diseases. His numerous other national professional memberships include the American Urological Association, American Diabetes Society, American Society of Andrology, The Society for the Study of Impotence, and the Society for Urologic Prosthetic Surgeons. He is also a member of the International Society for Impotence Research.
