Peyronie's disease has been associated with penile shortening and some degree of erectile dysfunction. Surgical reconstruction should be based on giving a functional penis, that is, rectifying the penis with rigidity enough to make the sexual intercourse. The procedure should be discussed preoperatively in terms of length and girth reconstruction in order to improve patient satisfaction. The tu...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the treatment of Peyronie's disease (PD) with verapamil and dexamethasone iontophoresis. METHODS Twenty nine patients with PD were treated by means of a Miniphysionize" dispositive 3 sessions a week during 4 consecutive weeks. 5mL of a combination of verapamil(10mg.) and dexamethasone (4mg.) were transdermally administered with a 2.5 mA current during 20 min. The aim ...

Penile masses are a concerning finding for both patient and clinician upon initial presentation. There is a wide differential for penile masses from the benign (fibrous plaques, cysts, ulcerative lesions, benign penile pearly papules, etc.) to more concerning malignant lesions. A proper history and physical is the first step to determining the etiology of the mass and any future clinical interv...

OBJECTIVE To compare the safety and efficacy of patients undergoing dorsal penile plication with patients undergoing ventral and lateral plication. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent penile plication between 2007 and 2013. Plication was performed through a 2-cm longitudinal incision in the proximal or midpenile shaft without degloving. Plication sutures...

INTRODUCTION Peyronie's disease (PD) and Dupuytren contractures (DC) are often comorbid and are believed to have a similar underlying pathophysiologic mechanism. AIM To investigate the prevalence of PD-like symptoms (PDLS) in men with DC. METHODS From October 2013 to December 2016, men who were seen and evaluated for DC were offered the opportunity to participate in an anonymous survey. The...

Peyronie's disease is a common debilitating condition for both men and their partners that results in penile deformity and compromises sexual functioning. While there are a myriad of medical therapeutic options, these have not been demonstrated to correct the deformity and restore sexual function definitively. As such, surgery is the mainstay of treatment for this disease, and multiple surgical...

Peyronie's disease (PD) is a localized, wound-healing, connective tissue disorder of the penis characterized by scarring of the tunica albuginea. This fibrous inelastic scar leads to penile pain, penile deformity and erectile dysfunction (ED), and a difficulty performing coitus. Over the past several decades, a myriad of oral agents for the treatment of PD have been studied and suggested. While...

Peyronie's disease (PD) is a fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea of the penis. It is characterized by different degrees of penile curvature and sexual dysfunction. Several medical treatments have been employed to manage the disorder, with variable success rates. Surgical therapy is reserved for patients with severe penile deformity that fails to improve with medical treatment and impedes ...

BACKGROUND Current surgical treatments in Peyronie's disease are accompanied by complications such as penile shortening, loss of sensation, erectile dysfunction and recurrence of disease. The aim of this study was the evaluation of clinical results of intracavernosal plaque excision in Peyronie's disease. METHODS The operation was performed on 35 men. It was consisted of incising the t...

Use of various metallic and non-metallic constricting objects on the external male genitalia for increasing sexual performance or because of autoerotic intentions is an unusual practice that can potentially lead to penile strangulation with severe consequences. Depending on the type of constricting material, emergency removal of such an object is a challenge. We report a case of a 45-year-old m...
