Abstract
This chapter reviews the history of plaque incision, the physical bases for expansion of cylindrical tissue, the numerical relationship between tunica extensibility and angular penile deformity, the effects of diameter loss on corporeal function, the design and placement of relaxing incisions, and operative technique based on 15 yr of experience with more than 130 cases. Special attention is given to the deployment and testing of relaxing incision and the use of autologous temporalis fascia as a free graft. Overall, without consideration of angle orientation or narrowing, results showed 75% of patients were corrected, 20% improved, and 7% were rendered dependent on medication for erectile rigidity.
