INTRODUCTION Peyronie's disease is a sexual medicine condition that may adversely affect male sexual function. AIM To provide expert opinions/recommendations concerning state-of-the-art knowledge for the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of Peyronie's disease. METHODS An International Consultation in collaboration with the major urology and sexual medicine associations assembled over...

Penile traction therapy (PTT) is a new therapeutic option for men with Peyronie's disease (PD). However, it has a long history of use in other fields of medicine including bone, skin, skeletal muscle, and Dupuytren's. Mechanotransduction, or gradual expansion of tissue by traction, leads to the formation of new collagen tissue by cellular proliferation. As a molecular result, continuous extensi...

Introduction The aim of the study was to report methods - based on penile anatomy - leading to the minimization in the invasiveness of reconstructive surgery for congenital penile curvature (CPC). Material and methods From 2006 to 2016 authors operated on 186 adult men with CPC.To avoid degloving, the authors used the longitudinal skin and tunica dartos incision. For decreasing invasiveness t...

background: the persian squirrel (sciurus anomalus) is a member of the family sciuridae in the middle east and very little information is available about the anatomy of the different organs of this animal. objectives: in this study, histological and macro anatomical structures of penis were examined on 6 adult male persian squirrels. methods: each animal was sacrificed after anesthesia with ket...

Peyronie's disease (PD), a fibromatous disorder of the tunica albuginea of the penile corpus cavernosum, named after the French physician Francois de la Peyronie, is characterized by pain, plaque formation, penile curvature, and plaque calcification. The epidemiological data on PD is inconsistent, with recent reports stating a prevalence of up to 9%, and the condition affecting men of all ages,...

Priapism, penile erection characterized as prolonged and devoid of sexual stimulation or excitement is a rare condition. It is critical to distinguish between low- and high-flow priapism, because the treatment algorithm differs markedly for these 2 conditions. The diagnosis is made clinically and confirmed with color Doppler ultrasonographic imaging (CDUS). We present a 21 year old men with hig...

ABSTRACT Introduction Congenital penile curvature is common and presents with varying levels of severity. The may present during infancy or post-pubertal. Historically, treatment has consisted surgical correction, typically plication complex grafting procedures. Most pediatric urologists recommend management for (PC) based on severity, previous work identifying ≥ 30° as a threshold to correctio...

Abstract Introduction Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion is recommended for the treatment of patients with Peyronie’s Disease (PD) and significant erectile dysfunction (ED). Adjunctive procedures such as modeling, plication, or incision/excision grafting can be used when there residual curvature after IPP placement. Objective To evaluate management correction in PD undergoing among hi...
