INTRODUCTION Pilot experiences have suggested that tension forces exerted by a penile extender may reduce penile curvature as a result of Peyronie's disease. AIM To test this hypothesis in a Phase II study using a commonly marketed brand of penile extender. METHODS Peyronie's disease patients with a curvature not exceeding 50 degrees with mild or no erectile dysfunction (ED) were eligible. ...

Congenital chordee and penile torsion are commonly observed in the presence of hypospadias, but can also be seen in boys with the meatus in its orthotopic position. Varying degrees of penile curvature are observed in 4-10% of males in the absence of hypospadias. Penile torsion can be observed at birth or in older boys who were circumcised at birth. Surgical management of congenital curvature wi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the postoperative outcome of the multiple slit on plaque plication technique for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients who underwent plaque incision with penile plication for the surgical treatment of Peyronie's disease, who had failed medical treatment between 2009 and 2014. Patients were grouped by preoperativ...

“Background” Peyronie’s disease which refers to an acquired penile deformity / curvature which occurs during erection may or may not be associated with pain. Peyronie’s disease is quite often a cause of worry to both the patient and his female partner. A number of treatment modalities have been available for the management of peyronie’s disease including: wait and see; oral medications; the now...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of "dermal patch graft" in surgical management of Peyronie's. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen of Peyronie's disease cases, with a mean age of 49 and a history of penile curvature and painful erection were enrolled in this study. Diagnosis was made clinically by plaque palpation. All of them were in the chronic stage of disease with symptom duration of at lea...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of potassium paraaminobenzoate (Potaba) in Peyronie's disease in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study during a 12-months period of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS 103 patients with Peyronie's disease and a history <12 months, non-calcified plaques and without pre-treatment were included. 51 w...

BACKGROUND Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is indicated for the treatment of penile curvature in adult men with Peyronie's disease (PD) with palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30° at the start of therapy. AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CCH plus vacuum-pump therapy with and without penile modeling for the management of PD. METHODS Adult men with PD and...

BACKGROUND Plaque incision and tunical grafting is widely used to correct penile curvatures secondary to Peyronie's disease (PD), but there is no consensus on the ideal graft to be used. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and reproducibility of plaque incision and buccal mucosa grafting (BMG) in the correction of severe penile curvatures secondary to PD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTIC...

PURPOSE We review the results of 132 cases of congenital and acquired penile curvature corrected with our 16 or 24-dot, minimal tension technique using multiple parallel plications performed under papaverine induced erection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chart and telephone interviews were conducted on 132 consecutive patients 16 to 79 years old who underwent penile plication between December 1995 a...

Objective: To explore the reason of penile surgery that result in urethral injury. Methods: To review the penile surgery (circumcision, penile curvature correction) that result in urethrocutaneous fistula from March 2009 to May 2014. Six cases resulted from circumcision, and three cases resulted from penile curvature correction. Results: All patients were lack of corpus spongiosum penis, and th...
