Implication

Clinical cohort study demonstrates successful penile straightening in severe Peyronie's disease, suggesting manual modeling over an inflatable prosthesis is safe and durable.

Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and long-term outcomes of manual penile modeling over an inflatable penile prosthesis for the surgical correction of severe Peyronie's disease.
Treated 138 patients presenting with severe Peyronie's disease via surgical placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis followed by manual modeling of the erect penis.
Performed secondary relaxing plaque incisions in cases where manual modeling failed to achieve adequate deformity correction.
Followed patients for a mean duration of 32 months (range: 9 to 84 months) to assess erectile rigidity, prosthesis use, and complications.
Penile modeling alone successfully restored a straight, rigid erection in 118 patients (86%), whereas 11 patients (8%) required additional plaque incisions.
Surgical complications included intraoperative urethral perforation in 4 patients (3%) and postoperative prosthesis infection in 4 patients (3%).
At mean follow-up, 124 patients (90%) actively used their prostheses, with 0 patients reporting penile shortening or loss of glandular sensation.
