Surgical treatment of Peyronie's disease with incision and venous patch technique

Peyronie's patients are candidates for surgical treatment when the acute ph ase has resolved. The choice of surgical treatment modality, either reconst ructive procedure or implantation of penile prosthesis, largely depends on the type and degree of the deformity and the penile vascular status of the patient. We present the results of ou1Effects of inhibitors and rmTNF-alpha on FMLP-induced O-2 production by mouse leukocytesr experience with incisi on and venous patch technique in Peyronie's disease. Incision and venous patch technique was performed in 20 patients with a mea n duration of the disease of 26.1 +/- 19.8 months. Complete straightening was achieved in 15 (75%) patients after a mean follo wup of 13.2 +/- 9.4 (3-27) months. Postoperative residual curvature (< 20 d egrees) was observed in 4 (20%) patients. Bulging at the graft site was not ed in 1 (5%) patient. Potency was preserved in all patients except one. Incision and venous patch technique, with its satisfactory results, should be considered in Peyronie's patients having an adequate penile vascular sys tem during chronic stable phase of the disease.
