Dr. Geng-Long Hsu was an aircraft mechanic and engineer from 1971 to 1978. Extending from this background, sexual medicine was developed at the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) from 1985 to 1989, when 101 cases of penile vascular surgery (PVS) were conducted. He attended a research fellowship at the University of California in 1991. The Jean-Paul Ginestie Prize was awarded at the 5th World Meeting on Impotence for discovering the penile fibro-skeleton. From 2001 to 2004, he was the director of the microsurgery potency reconstruction center at Taipei Medical University. Afterward, he established his private practice—Hsu’s Andrology—as a clinical professor at China Medical University, where he pursued unique, groundbreaking research topics. For example, “Penile Veins Are the Determining Contributor for Erection: The Hemodynamic Evidence from the Study in Defrosted Human Cadavers” was awarded the second prize at the 3rd World Congress on Controversies in Urology (CURy). The penile fibro-vascular assembly, the last piece of an elucidated compartment in the human cardiovascular system, was granted the Zorgniotti-Newman prize on November 19, 2021, at a virtual ISSM world meeting.
Refined PVS was granted a USPTO patent in 2012. He contributed five chapters to the Encyclopedia of Reproduction 2nd edition, published on August 1, 2018. Albeit officially retired, he works part-time at NTUH, aiming for varied potency reconstructive strategies shared with the young generation.
