Abstract

to present our experience with multimodal therapy for Peyronie Disease Retrospective data were collected since 2008 to 2017. The following features were evaluated at baseline and after treatment: age, duration of disease, erectile function (EF), erected penile curvature (EPC), stretched penile length (SPL). All patients were offered the same protocol including: 12 intralesional verapamil injections (IVIs); Oral therapy (OT): L-arginine 2 grams once and pentoxifylline 400 mg three times a day for 6 months; penile traction therapy. The adherence to each of the three component of multimodal treatment was evaluated . 177 individuals were considered. Depending on the grade of adherence our survey was divided into three groups. Group one: patients who only completed OT; Group two: men who accomplished OT and IVIs; Group three: patients who completed the entire protocol. 76 ,45 and 56 men were assigned to group one, two and three respectively. The mean age at the diagnosis was 59 (±8,4), 59,1 (±5,9) and 54,2 (±4,8) years, while the mean duration of the disease was 6,3(±3,4) , 4,8(±2,9) and 3,9 (±3,1) months in group one, two and three. The EPC before and after treatment was 24,2°(±9) and 23,7°(±8,9) in group one (p<0,36) ; 25,4° (±16,8) and 24,1° (±13,6) in group two (p<0,34) , 34,3° (±17,9) and 26,1° (±17,2) in group three (p<0,001).
