Penile traction therapy in Peyronie's disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Penile traction therapy has traditionally been implemented to increase penile length but has recently been investigated for reducing the curvature associated with Peyronie's disease. The results of a few initial investigations have been conflicting, and further research is needed to confirm the true benefit of such therapy and its potential role in treating Peyronie's disease as both a monotherapy and in combination with other therapeutic options.

INTRODUCTION Loss of penile length is a recognized and common consequence of Peyronie's disease (PD). Traction therapy (TT+) has been reported to decrease post-op length loss as well as increase stretched penile length (SPL) prior to surgery. AIM The aim of this study was to study patient outcomes with penile length change and patient satisfaction after surgery following tunica albuginea plic...
