Abstract
Peyronie''s disease is characterized by localized fibrosis in the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum. This inelastic segment causes bending of the erect penis and sexual incapacity in advanced cases. Cases (52) were reviewed in which excision of the Peyronie''s plaque and replacement of the defect with a dermal graft were done. An operation is an acceptable method to treat patients who are anatomic and sexual cripples. More than 70% of these postoperative patients were satisfied with sexual performance. Specific aspects of the postoperative course and surgical results are reviewed.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
