Contributions​

Pariser's cited work covers adult acquired buried penis, revision of bladder augmentation, and complications of feminizing gender-affirming genital surgery.789

  • Classification of adult acquired buried penis repair (2018). Led a series of 64 repairs graded in five categories of surgical complexity; 91% were successfully unburied, high-grade complications occurred only in the complex group, and 47% of patients had urethral stricture regardless of complexity.7 Cited on WARWIKI: Buried Penis, Buried Penis Repair.
  • Augmentation cystoplasty revision without additional bowel (2019). Led a report of seven patients with an hourglass deformity or a non-detubularized augment revised by detubularization or completion cystotomy; six reported symptom improvement and one later required an Indiana pouch.8 Cited on WARWIKI: Principles of Bladder Augmentation.
  • Management of complications after vaginoplasty (2021). Senior author of a review describing operative approaches to complications after penile inversion vaginoplasty.9 Cited on WARWIKI: Feminizing Urethroplasty, Meatal Stenosis Revision.
