Abstract

The etiology and evolution of Peyronie's disease are not well known, and this certainly affects patient management. If spontaneous regression or stabilization of the disease is lacking, actually all therapies, except surgery, seem to be only partially successful. We attended 88 patients affected by Peyronie's disease, and 21 patients (23.6%) were referred for surgery and penile implantation; plaque excision was necessary in 8 patients (38.1%). We implanted 10 malleable prostheses and 11 soft prostheses. So far, potency has been the only parameter for evaluating the results of surgery, but in our view both the patient and his partner should be satisfied aesthetically and functionally.
