Peyronie’s Plaque: Excision and Graft Versus Incision and Stent

Abstract

Nineteen patients with Peyronie's plaque unsuccessfully treated conservatively were considered surgical candidates. Although all patients had erections intercourse was functionally difficult to impossible for most. Only 30 per cent of the patients who underwent plaque excision and grafting became sexually functional postoperatively. Placement of penile prostheses appears to be the most secure method to rehabilitate the male patient who has become a sexual cripple secondary to Peyronie's plaque.
