A total of 151 patients (age: 24-74 years, mean: 55 ± 10.3) diagnosed with Peyronie's disease were enrolled in a non-surgical treatment. In addition to medical histories and physical examinations, all patients underwent the following tests: penile ultrasound, IIEF questionnaire and photographic documentation. The penile curvature was measured by taking a photograph during maximum erection. All ...

INTRODUCTION Congenital penile curvature (CPC) is caused by a disorder in the embryonic development of the urethra and corpora cavernosa. The condition causes difficulty for penetration, requiring surgical correction when it prevents intercourse. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present the cases of 2 men in their 40s who had ventral curvature greater than 60° of 2 years of evolution, with maintained ...

Objectives: We propose a surgical correction of the penile curvature applying a technique based on the 16-dot plication technique modified by burying the knots in a shallow trough of incised tunica. We entitle this modification the “Kiel Knots”. Material and methods: 20 patients with a penile deviation, average age 36.8 years (24 52) were operated. Follow-up time was 26 months. In 8 patients th...

Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a debilitating chronic condition associated with penile curvature, erectile dysfunction, pain, and emotional distress (1). The condition was first described in 1743 by Francois Gigot de la Peyronie, King Louis XV of France’s physician (2). PD is a progressive condition characterised by fibro...

INTRODUCTION Peyronie's Disease (PD) is a disease causing psycho social trauma to the patient. Multiple treatment options are available with variable results. Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a new insight into the non invasive modality of management. It focuses on the mechanism of inducing angiogenesis in the penile cavernous tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS The aim of the study is ...

AIM To summarize recent advances in human penile anatomy, hemodynamics and their clinical applications. METHODS Using dissecting, light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy the fibroskeleton structure, penile venous vasculature, the relationship of the architecture between the skeletal and smooth muscles, and erection hemodynamics were studied on human cadaveric penises and clinical...

Objective. To present the results of reconstruction of long (>5 cm), penile, bulbar, and bulbopenile urethral strictures by penile skin flap as dorsal onlay in one-stage procedure. Patients and Methods. Between January, 1998 and December, 2004, 18 patients (aged from 28-65 years) presented with long urethral strictures, 5.6-13.2 cm (penile in 6, bulbar in 2 and combined in 10 cases), those were...

Peyronie's disease appears to be a condition of middle-aged men. In many of them, the disease is accompanied by erectile dysfunction, which, until recently, was attributed to penile deformity. Later, it turned out that the erectile dysfunction has the same causes as in men without Peyronie's disease with vascular and psychological components. In all cases, the pathology of the disease is charac...

Paper goal is to determine complications after urgent surgical treatment of patient with penile fractures, by using circumferential-degloving technique (degloving penile skin to root of penis). In period between 1998-2006 year, 23 patients have been treated as urgent cases with clinically proven penis fracture, age between 18 and 35. Patients were treated in 3 medical centers in Bosnia and Herz...

Collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) (Xiaflex TM) has recently become the mainstay and gold standard of minimally invasive management of Peyronie's disease. Approved by the FDA in 2013 after phase III studies demonstrated efficacy and safety, collagenase is a popular and promising, albeit expensive treatment option. With the exception of phase II and phase III study data, there is a deart...
