Abstract
Excision of the fibrous plaque from the full thickness of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa of the penis was performed in 16 patients with Peyronie's disease in the course of seven years. The resulting gap was covered with a dermal flap. The dorsal vascular and neural bundles were separated from the tunica albuginea together with Buck's fascia. This method caused only very slight damages in the circulation and innervation of the penis. The patients were satisfied with the straightness of their penis.
The method has the following advantages: it may be applied even in case of extensive, cartilaginous, calcified plaques; the hourglass deformation of the penis may be corrected; it does not result in the shortening of the penis; the complete excised plaque may be examined histologically.
