Medical quality control is at the core of the various managerial tasks of the hospital and the managerial ideas involved determine the quality of the control. The authors analyze in depth the structural features of fundamental, link and terminal medical quality, and in light of their experience in hospital management, put forward a principle of and a framework of ideas for medical quality control. The principle is as follows: focusing on the patients, putting quality at the core, laying equal stress on fundamental, link and terminal quality, and promoting simultaneously self-control and supervision in an all-round way. The framework of ideas is as follows: focusing on the patients should be based on putting quality at the core; fundamental medical quality should be based on basic rules and regulations; link medical quality should be based on the "three basics and three aspects of strictness" ; and terminal medical quality should be based on the education and involvement of the entire staff.

Objective To illustrate the details and effects of a new technique of penile augmentation-a dual plane approach to enhance the penile girth with human acellular dermal matrix (ADM)through the incision on the dorsal penile root.Methods Firstly,a reversed V incision was made at the dorsal root of the penis and the superficial suspensory ligament of the penis was released.A Dartos fascia incision was then made and the plan between Dartos fascia and Buck's fascia was dorsally dissected toward the coronary sulcus.A Buck's fascia incision was made 1.5-2 cm from the coronary sulcus and the fascia was undermined distally.One or two sheets of ADM was dorsally placed by a dual plane method which combined partial sub-Buck's fascia plane and partial sub-Dartos fascia plane to enhance the penile circumference.Finally,the Dartos fascia incision was closed and followed by the closure of the wound with V-Y advancement.Results A total of 35 patients underwent dual plane penile augmentation No dorsal penile skin necrosis and exposure of ADM sheet happened in our group postoperatively.25 patients were followed from 6 to 24 months after operation.All patients were satisfied with their penile appearance and 21 married patients reported satisfied sexual activity.The increase of penile circumference was (2.65±0.41) cm at flaccid state and (1.85±0.35) cm at erectile state 6 months postoperatively.No pleat or absorb of the ADM sheet,losses of sensitivity of the penis occurred during the follow-up period.Conclusions By adjusting the plane of ADM placement,the dual plane penile augmentation ensures adequate soft-tissue coverage and sufficient blood supply of penile skin and offers increased benefits and fewer tradeoffs compared with a single plane.This technique could be an effective way to lengthen and enlarge the penis in one stage without major complication.
