Abstract
Patients (12) with intractable Peyronie''s disease were treated with a new approach based on simple incision of the fibrotic plaque(s) and stenting of the corpora with penile implants. Infection in 1 case necessitated removal of the prostheses, while the remaining 11 patients had satisfactory functional and anatomical results. The procedure was indicated for patients with Peyronie''s disease and impotency, normal potency and extensive disease and normal potency and localized disease in selective cases. In this series insertion of the penile prostheses did not change sexual prowess in previously potent patients.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
