Abstract
Purpose: This study was undertaken to evaluate the results and complic ations of penile prosthesis implantation in patients with erectile dys function caused by Peyronie's disease. Materials and Methods: Men unde rgoing surgical intervention for erectile dysfunction caused by Peyron ie's disease at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine we re reviewed. Patients included 30 men aged 29-64 (mean=49.6) with a du ration of Peyronie's disease from 12-72 months (mean=31.4 months). All men had palpable Peyronie's plaque, significant penile curvature and plaque formation. All patients underwent implantation of AMS 700CX pen ile prostheses from 1993 to 1997. Results: Penile straightening was ca rried out using modeling in 28 (93%) while plaque incision was necessa ry in 2 men (7%). All patients had a resultant straight penis with fun ctional penile implant. There were no patients who suffered penile pro sthesis infection and no mechanical malfunctions were observed during the follow-up. Conclusions: Penile prosthesis implantation with modeli ng is a safe, simple, effective technique for straightening penile cur vature in patients undergoing implantation of penile prosthesis for Pe yronie's disease. Penile prosthesis implantation is a safe, effective, low morbidity method for restoring potency in men with male erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease.
