Advanced Peyronie’s Disease Treated With the Inflatable Penile Prosthesis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Nineteen patients with significant advanced Peyronie's disease (that is severe angulation, erectile impotence and/or intractable pain) that had not responded to conservative medical therapy were treated surgically with insertion of the inflatable penile prosthesis. Of the patients 10 had correction of angulation and/or erectile impotence by instillation of the prosthesis alone and needed no additional operation, while 8 required incisions of the tunica albuginea distal to the plaques in addition to the prosthesis to correct the deformity. One patient required a monofilament knitted polypropylene velour graft to cover the defect in the tunica albuginea. Satisfactory results were obtained in 18 of 19 patients.
