Abstract
ABSTRACT Objectives The objective of our study is to discover and evaluate the effects of repeated intralesional injections inside the tunica albuginea of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease (PD). Methods As part of a prospective study over 12 months from February 2020 until February 2021, on Sixty-five patients with Peyronie’s disease, and penile curvature between 25 and 45°. Patients were stratified into two groups, the first with a curvature between 25 and 35° and the second between 35 and 45°. Gathered data included patient-demographics, Injection technique, outcomes: both quantitative (curvature assessments) and qualitative (state of erectile function, pain during intercourse), and complications. Results Patients in both groups received an average of 6.1 injections of PRP during the study period. Angulation was significantly improved in both groups an average final improvement of 16.88° (SD = 3.35) (p < 0.001) in the first group and 17.27° (SD = 4.22) (p < 0.001) in the second group. Pain during sex decreased from 70.7% to 34.25%, and 55.5% of patients had easier sexual intercourse. Conclusions The positive results of our series of treatment for Peyronie’s disease by injection of platelet-rich plasma are encouraging both methodologically (simplicity) and clinical (safety and efficacy) as well as patient satisfaction.
