Abstract

Various surgical modalities have been utilized for the treatment of penile tortuosity caused by Peyronie’s disease. However, the ideal surgical procedure has not yet been developed. Because plaque incision and grafting does not cause penile shortening, it is the best approach, particularly in cases of severe and complex penile curvature. Additionally, if the graft is nonsynthetic, neither inflammatory nor anomalous scarring will develop over time. This review suggests crural corpora cavernosa as the graft of choice, because it more closely resembles the incised area both anatomically and functionally.
