Abstract
-
Peyronie's disease is an idiopathic disorder of the penis that is unusually associated with erectile dysfunction. We treated 7 cases of Peyronie's disease associated with erectile dysfunction by implantation of malleable penile prostheses(AMS 600) and multiple full thickness transverse incision of the tunica albuginea corresponding to fibrotic plaque. Postoperatively the penile curvatures were corrected in all patients, who were able to engage in sexual intercourse as well . There were no complications such as pain or recurrence of penile curvature. Therefore, we recommend the incision of plaque and implantation of penile prostheses as the worth surgical methods in treatment of patients with Peyronie's disease associated with erectile dysfunction.
