BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate our approach to the diagnosis and treatment of penile fracture. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the results of 107 patients with penile fracture treated in our clinic between January 1990 and January 2009. Patient age, etiology of each fracture, history, physical examination results, radiologic findings, type of treatment, ...

Peyronie's disease (PD) is most simply referred to as a fibrotic wound-healing disorder of the tunica albuginea. It is both a physically and psychologically devastating disorder that causes penile deformity, curvature, hinging, narrowing and shortening, which may compromise sexual function. Although a variety of non-surgical treatments have been suggested, none to date offer a reliable and effe...

We present our penile curvature treatment experience in Peyronie's disease and cogenital curvature, using a modificated plication technique of the tunica albuginea with Prolene inverted sutures covered with Vicryl ones. The first suture gives security to the plication and the second one hides the first dots avoiding the nonabsorbable sutures bother.

INTRODUCTION Hyaluronic acid has been shown to be efficacious in decreasing scar formation, inflammation, and oxidative stress. AIM To assess the efficacy of intralesional injection of hyaluronic acid in patients affected by Peyronie's disease. METHODS In this prospective, single-arm, self-controlled, interventional, multicenter pilot study, 65 patients underwent a 10-week cycle of weekly i...

Peyronie's disease (PD) is a relatively common condition, which can impair sexual function and result in emotional and psychological distress. Despite an abundance of minimally invasive treatments, few have confirmed efficacy for improving penile curvature and function. Surgical therapies include many different techniques and are reserved for patients with stable disease of ⩾12 months' duration...

PURPOSE We report outcomes and complications of the use of porcine small intestine submucosa for correcting penile curvature due to Peyronie's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed in patients with severe penile curvature (greater than 60 degrees) requiring surgical correction for sexual function. Preoperatively all patients underwent evaluation, including history...

The subject outcome was assessed with the patient perception of postoperative penile length. Information regarding complications was obtained during the postoperative hospital stay and at all follow-ups. Results: The mean increase in SPL was 1.2±1.3 ...

Yang and Bennett's report (1) offers further support for the use of intralesional collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) to improve both subjective symptoms and objective measures in men with Peyronie's disease (PD). The study included men who would not have been eligible for the IMPRESS (2) trials, including those with active disease, hourglass configurations, ventral deformities, and no u...

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 monother...
