A four-day penile augmentation course for licensed surgeons who want to perform length and girth procedures properly, or to stop performing them badly. Cadaveric practice, live operating sessions and small groups, directed by Assoc. Prof. Dr Tuncay Taş.
Penile augmentation attracts more bad practice than any other operation in men's surgery. The techniques are learned from videos, the indications are stretched to whoever walks in, and the follow up is short enough that nobody sees the nodules, the asymmetry or the length that quietly retracted over the first year. Surgeons who train properly spend most of their time avoiding those outcomes rather than chasing centimetres.
This course is built around that reality. You work on cadaveric specimens through the techniques you are likely to offer, then watch the same steps performed on a live list. The teaching sessions are trimmed to the decisions that change an operation: which patient, which plane, which product, and when the honest answer is that no operation is indicated at all.
The programme is directed by Assoc. Prof. Dr Tuncay Taş, who performs more than four hundred implant, augmentation and reconstructive procedures each year for patients from over sixty countries, and who founded the Exclusive Urology Course through which surgeons from four continents have trained. He teaches alongside a faculty of urology professors, so you see more than one pair of hands during the week.
The course sits inside a working andrology practice rather than a training centre that opens only for courses. The same theatre runs the regular penile enlargement list, which is why the live sessions you observe are ordinary operating days and not a demonstration arranged for visitors. Surgeons who also want prosthetic training take the penile implant course, usually in the following week.
Cadaveric sessions at Dr Tas Clinic.
Every item below is covered on the specimen or in theatre, not only on a slide.
Measuring to a defined standard, with the fat pad compressed, so your before and after numbers mean something
Screening for penile dysmorphic disorder, and how to decline an operation without losing the patient's trust
Hyaluronic acid girth augmentation: plane, volume, distribution and how to reverse a bad result
Autologous fat: harvest, processing and transfer technique, and the resorption you must quote honestly
Suspensory ligament release on the specimen, with the closure that resists scar retraction
Suprapubic contouring, and recognising the buried penis that needs a different operation entirely
Implant based girth augmentation: pocket dissection, sizing and the erosion risk that decides follow up
Managing nodules, migration, asymmetry, infection and the request to undo an operation someone else did
Each day pairs a short teaching session with hands-on work. Exact timings follow the operating list of that week, so the live sessions are real cases rather than a rehearsal.
Assessment and selection. Measurement standards, anatomy of the suspensory apparatus and the dartos planes, screening for dysmorphia, expectation setting and consent. Worked through with case material, including the cases that were turned down and why.
Girth by injection. Hyaluronic acid and autologous fat on the specimen: fat harvest and processing, the correct plane, volume per pass, distribution to avoid nodularity, and the technique for dissolving or evacuating a result that has gone wrong.
Length and contour. Suspensory ligament release step by step, V Y and skin advancement closure, suprapubic liposuction and escutcheonectomy, scrotal web correction, and the traction protocol that determines how much of the gain is still there at one year.
Implants, complications and revision. Subcutaneous silicone augmentation on the specimen, then open discussion of erosion, migration, infection, contracture and explant, using cases from the clinic's own experience and from surgeons who send their revisions here.
The course is directed by Assoc. Prof. Dr Tuncay Taş and taught with urology professors from neighbouring fields, so the discussion is not limited to one operating style.
Course director
Urologist and andrologist
Leads men's surgery at Dr Tas Clinic and carries out more than four hundred implant, augmentation and reconstructive operations a year for patients from over sixty countries. He designed this programme and teaches on every day of it.
Faculty
Urologist
Works in functional and female urology, reconstructive urology and neuro-urology. That background is why the revision and explant sessions are taught by someone who rebuilds tissue for a living.
Faculty
Urologist
Practises in urology and men's sexual health. He teaches on the hands-on days and takes a large share of the case discussion, where most of the useful arguments happen.
A few things worth knowing before you ask us to hold a place.
Places are confirmed for licensed doctors who already operate. We ask for proof of registration before a place is held, and the cadaveric laboratory is closed to anyone else.
Teaching, the laboratory and live surgery all take place at Dr Tas Clinic in Nişantaşı, Şişli, roughly forty minutes from Istanbul Airport. You do not move between venues during the course.
Course materials, laboratory consumables, lunches and coffee breaks are part of the fee. Flights and hotel are not, but we will suggest hotels nearby and arrange airport transfers once your dates are fixed.
The fee depends on the dates and how many surgeons attend together, so we quote it in writing rather than publishing a figure that would not apply to you.
Programme content, timings and faculty may be adjusted to the operating list of the week. We would rather change the timetable than put on a case that is not real.
Licensed physicians who already operate: urologists, andrologists and plastic surgeons who want to add penile augmentation to their practice, or who are doing it already and want to compare their technique against someone else's. We ask for proof of medical registration before confirming a place. It is not open to students, to aesthetic practitioners without a surgical licence, or to non-medical staff.
Four days. Day one is selection and assessment, day two is girth, day three is length and contour, and day four covers implant based girth together with complications and revision. Each day pairs a short teaching session with hands-on work, so you are at the table every day rather than only at the end of the week.
Both. Injectable and surgical techniques are practised on cadaveric specimens under supervision, and you observe live augmentation cases in theatre. Operating on a patient is not part of the course.
Yes, and it treats them as separate problems, because they are. Girth work covers hyaluronic acid, autologous fat and implant based augmentation. Length work covers suspensory ligament release, the closure techniques that resist scar retraction, suprapubic contouring and the traction protocol that decides how much of the gain survives. Most disappointed patients are the result of a surgeon offering one when the other was indicated.
A full day, and it is the day most participants say changed their practice. Penile augmentation is elective surgery on a healthy organ, so the decision not to operate is part of the skill set. The session covers measurement to a defined standard, screening for penile dysmorphic disorder, and consent that still holds up when a result lands at the lower end of the range.
Groups are kept deliberately small so that every participant gets real time on the specimen rather than a place in a crowd around the table. Tell us how many of you are coming and we will confirm what is available for your dates.
Yes. Every participant who completes the programme receives a certificate of attendance from the course.
Fees depend on the dates and on the number of participants, so we send a written quote rather than publishing a price. Course materials, consumables for the laboratory sessions, lunches and coffee breaks are included. Travel and accommodation are not, though we will recommend hotels close to the clinic and organise airport transfers.
English. If your group would prefer another language, tell us when you enquire and we will let you know what we can arrange for those dates.
Yes, and surgeons travelling a long distance often do. The two programmes overlap in anatomy and in the complications discussion but not in technique, so they can be scheduled in consecutive weeks. Ask for both when you enquire and we will build a single itinerary.
Send us a message with your specialty, your registration details and the months that suit you. We will reply with the available dates, what the four days would look like for you and a written quote.
