Abstract EN
Peyronie's disease has been associated with penile shortening and some degree of erectile dysfunction.
Surgical reconstruction should be based on giving a functional penis, that is, rectifying the penis with rigidity enough to make the sexual intercourse.
The procedure should be discussed preoperatively in terms of length and girth reconstruction in order to improve patient satisfaction.
The tunical reconstruction for maximum penile length and girth restoration should be based on the maximum length of the dissected neurovascular bundle possible and the application of geometrical principles to define the precise site and size of tunical incision and grafting procedure.
As penile rectification and rigidity are required to achieve complete functional restoration of the penis and 20 to 54% of patients experience associated erectile dysfunction, penile straightening alone may not be enough to provide complete functional restoration.
Therefore, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, self-injection, or penile prosthesis may need to be added in some cases.
