Choroba peyroniego
Leczenie

Choroba Peyroniego charakteryzuje się tworzeniem blaszek włóknistych w osłonce białawej prącia, prowadząc do skrzywienia podczas erekcji. Leczenie różni się w zależności od fazy choroby: ostrej (6-18 miesięcy) z aktywnym stanem zapalnym i bólem oraz przewlekłej, stabilnej fazy bez bólu i postępującego skrzywienia. W fazie ostrej zaleca się NLPZ w celu zmniejszenia bólu, terapię trakcyjną (30 min do 8 h dziennie), pentoksyfilinę oraz inhibitory PDE5 (sildenafil, tadalafil, wardenafil). Leczenie chirurgiczne jest przeciwwskazane w tej fazie. W fazie przewlekłej leki doustne nie wykazują skuteczności, natomiast stosuje się terapię trakcyjną, iniekcje kolagenazy Clostridium histolyticum (Xiaflex) – zatwierdzonej przez FDA dla krzywizny >30°, werapamilu, interferonu alfa-2b oraz rozważane jest leczenie chirurgiczne przy poważnym skrzywieniu (>65°-70°) lub zaburzeniach erekcji, w tym implantację protezy prącia.

Leczenie choroby Peyroniego

Choroba Peyroniego to schorzenie charakteryzujące się tworzeniem się blaszek z tkanki włóknistej w osłonce białawej prącia, co prowadzi do skrzywienia penisa podczas erekcji. Leczenie choroby Peyroniego zależy od kilku czynników, w tym od czasu trwania objawów, stopnia skrzywienia, obecności bólu oraz wpływu na funkcje seksualne. Ważne jest, aby rozróżnić fazę ostrą (aktywną) i przewlekłą (stabilną) choroby, ponieważ podejście terapeutyczne różni się w zależności od etapu.12

Leczenie w fazie ostrej

Faza ostra choroby Peyroniego charakteryzuje się aktywnym stanem zapalnym, postępującym skrzywieniem prącia i często bólem podczas erekcji. W tym okresie, który trwa zwykle od 6 do 18 miesięcy, zaleca się następujące metody leczenia:12

W fazie ostrej choroby nie zaleca się leczenia chirurgicznego, ponieważ może to prowadzić do konieczności wykonania ponownego zabiegu, jeśli choroba będzie nadal postępować po operacji.1

Leczenie w fazie przewlekłej

Faza przewlekła choroby Peyroniego rozpoczyna się, gdy skrzywienie prącia stabilizuje się, a ból ustępuje. W tej fazie dostępne są różne opcje terapeutyczne:12

Leki doustne

Leki doustne nie są zalecane w fazie przewlekłej, ponieważ badania wykazały, że nie są one skuteczne na tym etapie choroby.12 Metaanaliza opublikowanych badań wskazuje, że nie ma dowodów na skuteczność leków doustnych w poprawie krzywizny prącia u pacjentów ze stabilną chorobą.1

Terapia trakcyjna

Terapia trakcyjna może być stosowana również w fazie przewlekłej choroby, samodzielnie lub w połączeniu z innymi metodami leczenia. Jest to jedyna metoda wykazująca poprawę długości prącia. Urządzenia do terapii trakcyjnej, takie jak RestoreX, działają poprzez delikatne rozciąganie prącia, co może:12

  • Poprawić krzywiznę
  • Przywrócić utraconą długość
  • Zwiększyć twardość erekcji

Większość pacjentów musi używać urządzenia do terapii trakcyjnej przez kilka miesięcy, aby zauważyć poprawę. Zazwyczaj nie występują długoterminowe skutki uboczne prawidłowego używania tego typu urządzeń.12

Iniekcje dotkankowe

Iniekcje substancji bezpośrednio do blaszki Peyroniego są jedną z głównych metod leczenia w fazie przewlekłej. Do najczęściej stosowanych należą:12

  • Kolagenaza Clostridium histolyticum (Xiaflex) – jedyny lek zatwierdzony przez FDA do leczenia choroby Peyroniego. Lek ten działa poprzez rozkładanie kolagenu w blaszce Peyroniego. Jest zalecany dla pacjentów, u których krzywizna prącia przekracza 30 stopni. Leczenie składa się z cykli iniekcji (każdy cykl to dwie iniekcje kolagenazy w odstępie 3-7 dni), po których następuje modelowanie prącia (zginanie w kierunku przeciwnym do krzywizny) wykonywane 3 razy dziennie przez 30 sekund. Cykl ten jest powtarzany 4 razy. Po drugim zabiegu w cyklu należy powstrzymać się od aktywności seksualnej przez 4 tygodnie.123
  • Werapamilantagonista wapnia, który wpływa na aktywność fibroblastów. Niektóre badania wykazały, że iniekcje werapamilu mogą znacząco zmniejszyć krzywiznę prącia. Zazwyczaj podaje się serię sześciu iniekcji co dwa tygodnie. Jednak dowody na skuteczność werapamilu są mniej przekonujące niż w przypadku kolagenazy.12
  • Interferon alfa-2b – wykazano, że jest skuteczniejszy niż placebo w poprawie krzywizny prącia i zmniejszaniu rozmiaru blaszki w dwóch małych badaniach kontrolowanych placebo.12

Metaanaliza sieciowa ośmiu randomizowanych badań kontrolowanych sugeruje, że w odniesieniu do krzywizny prącia, kolagenaza Clostridium histolyticum i interferon alfa-2b są związane z lepszymi wynikami niż werapamil lub kwas hialuronowy.1

Terapia falami uderzeniowymi

Terapia falami uderzeniowymi o niskiej intensywności (ESWT) nie jest zalecana do zmniejszania krzywizny prącia lub rozmiaru blaszki, ale może być stosowana w celu zmniejszenia bólu.12 Amerykańskie Towarzystwo Urologiczne nie zaleca stosowania ESWT w celu zmniejszenia krzywizny prącia lub rozmiaru blaszki.1

Leczenie chirurgiczne

Chirurgia jest zazwyczaj rozważana dopiero wtedy, gdy krzywizna lub zagięcie penisa jest poważne, istotnie przeszkadza pacjentowi lub uniemożliwia odbycie stosunku płciowego. Leczenie chirurgiczne powinno być przeprowadzane tylko w stabilnej lub przewlekłej fazie choroby Peyroniego, kiedy proces bliznowacenia i skrzywienie nie postępują, a pacjent nie odczuwał bólu przez okres od sześciu do dwunastu miesięcy.12

Główne rodzaje operacji w chorobie Peyroniego to:12

Plikacja (plastyka skracająca)

Procedura ta polega na skróceniu niezajętej strony prącia poprzez założenie szwów na stronie przeciwnej do blaszki. Powoduje to wyprostowanie prącia i niweluje efekt krzywizny. Plikacja jest zwykle zarezerwowana dla pacjentów z dobrą funkcją erekcyjną i odpowiednią długością prącia. Zabieg wykonuje się ambulatoryjnie, a aktywność seksualna może być wznowiona po około sześciu tygodniach. W doświadczeniu urologów można skorygować około 65° krzywizny prącia za pomocą tej metody.12

Główną wadą tej metody jest możliwe skrócenie długości prącia, jednak ryzyko zaburzeń erekcji jest mniejsze niż w przypadku innych metod chirurgicznych.1

Wycięcie blaszki i przeszczep

Ta operacja jest zazwyczaj zalecana pacjentom z krzywiznami przekraczającymi 70°. Polega na usunięciu blaszki i zastąpieniu jej przeszczepem tkanki, który może pochodzić z innej części ciała pacjenta, być wyhodowany w laboratorium lub pochodzić od dawców organów. Zabieg ten wykonuje się ambulatoryjnie, a aktywność seksualna może być wznowiona po około sześciu do ośmiu tygodniach.12

Metoda ta wiąże się z większym ryzykiem zaburzeń erekcji, ale mniejszym ryzykiem skrócenia prącia.1

Implantacja protez prącia

Dla pacjentów z kombinacją nierozwiązywalnych zaburzeń erekcji i choroby Peyroniego, zaleca się implantację protezy prącia. Dostępne są protezy półsztywne oraz hydrauliczne. Proteza hydrauliczna składa się z cylindrów umieszczanych w prąciu, pompy w mosznie i zbiornika płynu w jamie brzusznej. Pacjent może kontrolować napełnianie protezy, gdy jest gotowy do podjęcia aktywności seksualnej.123

Protezy prącia są dobrą opcją dla pacjentów z chorobą Peyroniego i zaburzeniami erekcji, ponieważ pozwalają na prostowanie prącia i jednoczesne przywrócenie funkcji seksualnych.1

Nowe metody leczenia

Naukowcy nadal badają nowe metody leczenia choroby Peyroniego. Dowody dotyczące ich skuteczności są ograniczone, a potencjalne skutki uboczne nie są jeszcze w pełni znane. Do eksperymentalnych terapii należą:12

Obecnie te terapie są uważane za eksperymentalne i nie są zalecane w standardowym postępowaniu.12

Wybór metody leczenia

Wybór odpowiedniej metody leczenia choroba Peyroniego zależy od wielu czynników, w tym:12

  • Czasu trwania objawów
  • Stopnia krzywizny prącia
  • Obecności bólu
  • Wpływu na funkcje seksualne
  • Preferencji pacjenta

W łagodnych przypadkach, gdy krzywizna jest niewielka i nie pogarsza się, a pacjent ma dobrą funkcję erekcyjną, leczenie może nie być konieczne. Jednak jeśli ból jest problemem lub krzywizna się pogarsza i utrudnia aktywność seksualną, wówczas podjęcie leczenia może pomóc.1

Wczesne leczenie w fazie ostrej może również działać lepiej niż oczekiwanie do fazy przewlekłej. Niektóre łagodne przypadki choroby Peyroniego ustępują bez leczenia, ale rzadko zdarza się, aby poważne skrzywienie prącia lub blaszki zniknęły samoistnie bez leczenia.12

W przypadku poważnych przypadków, gdy funkcja seksualna jest znacznie upośledzona, a zachowawcze metody leczenia nie przynoszą efektów, leczenie chirurgiczne może być najlepszą opcją.1

Leczenie skojarzone

Coraz częściej specjaliści zalecają leczenie skojarzone, łączące różne metody terapeutyczne, aby osiągnąć lepsze wyniki. Na przykład:12

  • Połączenie terapii trakcyjnej z iniekcjami dokanałowymi
  • Stosowanie inhibitorów PDE-5 wraz z terapią trakcyjną
  • Połączenie iniekcji kolagenazy z modelowaniem prącia i terapią trakcyjną

W niedawnym badaniu klinicznym wykazano, że niechirurgiczne leczenie obejmujące iniekcje kolagenazy (Xiaflex), w połączeniu z używaniem urządzenia trakcyjnego (RestoreX) i doustnym podawaniem sildenafilu, prowadziło do wysokiego zadowolenia pacjentów z wyników seksualnych, z mniejszą liczbą zdarzeń niepożądanych w porównaniu do operacji.1

Podsumowanie leczenia

Choroba Peyroniego jest schorzeniem, które można skutecznie leczyć, ale wymaga odpowiedniego podejścia dostosowanego do indywidualnych potrzeb pacjenta. Kluczowe znaczenie ma odpowiedni dobór metody leczenia w zależności od fazy choroby i nasilenia objawów.12

Metoda leczenia Faza ostra Faza przewlekła Główne korzyści Główne ograniczenia
Leki przeciwzapalne (NLPZ) Zalecane Niezalecane Zmniejszenie bólu i stanu zapalnego Brak wpływu na krzywiznę
Terapia trakcyjna Zalecana Zalecana Poprawa długości prącia i krzywizny Wymaga długotrwałego stosowania
Kolagenaza (Xiaflex) Warunkowe zastosowanie Zalecana Skuteczne zmniejszenie krzywizny Dostępna tylko w ramach programu REMS
Werapamil – iniekcje Możliwe zastosowanie Warunkowe zalecenie Może zmniejszyć krzywiznę i ból Mniej dowodów na skuteczność
Interferon alfa-2b Możliwe zastosowanie Zalecany Poprawa krzywizny i rozmiaru blaszki Ograniczone dane z dużych badań
ESWT Warunkowe zastosowanie Niezalecane dla krzywizny Może zmniejszyć ból Brak wpływu na krzywiznę
Plikacja chirurgiczna Niezalecana Zalecana Szybka poprawa krzywizny Skrócenie długości prącia
Wycięcie blaszki i przeszczep Niezalecane Zalecane Mniejsze skrócenie prącia Wyższe ryzyko zaburzeń erekcji
Protezy prącia Niezalecane Zalecane przy ED Leczenie zarówno ED jak i krzywizny Procedura inwazyjna

Wczesna diagnoza i leczenie mają kluczowe znaczenie w chorobie Peyroniego, gdyż mogą powstrzymać lub leczyć krzywiznę za pomocą środków niechirurgicznych. Dlatego ważne jest, aby szukać pomocy medycznej we wczesnym stadium choroby.12

Ostateczny wybór metody leczenia powinien być dokonany po konsultacji z urologiem specjalizującym się w leczeniu choroby Peyroniego, który może ocenić indywidualne potrzeby pacjenta i zaproponować najbardziej odpowiednie rozwiązanie.12

    Treatment options for Peyronie disease depend on how long it’s been since you began having symptoms. […] For the acute phase of the condition, treatments include: […] Surgery is not recommended in the acute phase of Peyronie disease. It isn’t a treatment option until the condition stops becoming worse and any pain goes away. This lowers the chances of needing a second surgery. […] For the chronic phase of the disease, treatment choices include: […] Oral medications taken by mouth aren’t recommended in the chronic phase. They haven’t been shown to be effective at this stage of the disease. […] Oral medicines have been tried to treat Peyronie disease. But research has shown that many don’t work consistently, and they are not as effective as other treatments. […] Penile traction therapy involves stretching the penis with a mechanical device that you put on daily.

    Peyronie’s disease is a common yet poorly understood condition. Between 8% and 10% of men in their mid-teens to their 80s have signs or symptoms of Peyronie’s disease. […] Early evaluation and treatment is important, as Peyronie’s disease rarely goes away on its own. Without treatment, only about 10% to 15% of men experience symptom relief in one year, while symptoms worsen for about 45% of men. […] Early diagnosis and treatment may be able to halt or treat the curvature with nonsurgical means. This is why it’s important to seek treatment early. […] Most often, treatment in the acute phase may include: Penile traction therapy This involves stretching the penis with a self-applied device to improve penile length and curve while correcting any deformity. It is worn for as little as 30 minutes to as much as eight hours a day. It’s the only treatment shown to improve penile length.

    4. Clinicians should discuss with patients the available treatment options and the known benefits and risks/burdens associated with each treatment. (Clinical Principle) […] 5. Clinicians may offer oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications to the patient suffering from active Peyronie’s disease who is in need of pain management. (Expert Opinion) […] 6. Clinicians should not offer oral therapy with vitamin E, tamoxifen, procarbazine, omega-3 fatty acids, or a combination of vitamin E with L-carnitine. [Moderate Recommendation; Evidence Strength Grade B(vitamin E/omega-3 fatty acids/Vitamin E + propionyl-L-carnitine )/ C( tamoxifen/procarbazine)] […] 8. Clinicians may administer intralesional collagenase clostridium histolyticum in combination with modeling by the clinician and by the patient for the reduction of penile curvature in patients with stable Peyronie’s disease, penile curvature 30 and 90, and intact erectile function (with or without the use of medications).

  • #1 Peyronie’s disease – Watch out for the bend
    https://www.racgp.org.au/afp/2017/september/peyronies-disease
    Peyronies disease is a relatively common condition in urological practice, but is still poorly identified and understood in the wider medical community and by most of the public. […] Oral therapy is usually of limited efficacy, while penile traction may only be beneficial in motivated patients. Intralesional injections of collagenase were recently introduced as a non-surgical measure to decrease penile curvature. Surgery remains the most effective treatment for Peyronies disease and is considered the gold standard. […] There is no oral agent that cures Peyronies disease and most of the commonly used treatments that patients source from, or investigate on the internet, have had no efficacy in proper clinical trials. […] Pentoxifylline is a nonspecific phosphodiesterase inhibitor that may increase penile levels of nitric oxide and may prevent, or reverse, calcification of the Peyronies plaque.

    https://www.racgp.org.au/afp/2017/september/peyronies-disease
    Phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors that are available in Australia are sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil. […] Agents that are injected into the plaque have more promise for improvement, and are now widely studied and accepted as worthwhile treatments. […] The use of intralesional injections of collagenase, plus physical modelling of the penis, have been reported to cause decreases in curvature. […] Verapamil has been found to affect fibroblast cellular activity. Some studies have found that intralesional verapamil injection induces a significant reduction in penile curvature. […] Low-intensity shockwave therapy for the treatment of Peyronies disease has been found to have only very minor benefit. […] In several tissue models, including Dupuytrens scar, gradual expansion of tissue by traction has been found to result in the formation of new connective tissue by cellular proliferation.

    Traction therapy is recommended in the early phase of Peyronie disease. It’s the only treatment shown to improve penis length. Traction therapy also may be used in the chronic phase of the disease, combined with other treatments or after surgery for a better outcome. […] Your doctor might suggest surgery if the curve or bend of your penis is severe, bothers you a lot or prevents you from having sex. […] Common types of surgery for Peyronie disease include: […] The type of surgery used depends on your condition. […] Before you get surgery for Peyronie disease, ask your surgeon about the risks. […] Researchers continue to explore other treatments for Peyronie disease. Evidence is limited on how well they work and what their side effects might be. Examples include use of intense sound waves to break up scar tissue, stem cells, platelet-rich plasma and radiation therapy. Currently, these therapies are considered experimental.

    Similarly, the 2010 International Consultation on Sexual Medicine did not support the routine clinical use of oral agents for PD. […] Two oral medications not restricted by the guidelines are PDE-5 inhibitors and PTX.

    Peyronies disease treatment options include: […] Traction therapy […] These therapies utilize an external device, such as a vacuum erection device or traction device (RestoreX), to gently stretch your penis and sometimes even bend it in the opposite direction of the curve. It encourages the scar tissue to break down and can: […] Improve curvature. […] Restore lost length. […] Increase erection hardness. […] Most people need to use the traction therapy device for several months to see improvement. […] There are generally no long-term side effects of properly using a traction therapy device. […] A healthcare provider may recommend medications you take by mouth (oral medications) or inject into your penis. Providers usually recommend medications if you have acute Peyronies disease or if you’re not sure if you want surgery. However, they rarely result in a straight penis.

    How do health care professionals treat Peyronies disease? The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, attain a straight or close-to-straight penis, and restore and maintain the ability to have intercourse. […] If you need treatment, your urologist may recommend nonsurgical treatments or surgery depending on the severity of your symptoms, how much your penis curves, and whether your Peyronies disease is in the acute or chronic phase. […] Nonsurgical treatments include injections, oral medicines, and medical therapies. They may be used when Peyronies disease is in the acute phase. […] Injecting a medicine directly into plaques, called intralesional injections, can be done in the acute phase. […] Intralesional collagenase injections (Xiaflex) are currently the only FDA-approved treatment for Peyronies disease.

    Injection medications may include: […] Collagenase injections (Xiaflex). A provider may prescribe collagenase injections if the curve in your penis is greater than 30 degrees to help break down scar tissue. […] Surgery […] Healthcare providers only recommend surgery if you have severe Peyronies disease that makes it difficult or impossible to have sex. […] You should only have surgery if you’re in the stable or chronic phase of Peyronies disease, in which the scarring and curvature no longer progress and you haven’t had any pain for between six and 12 months. […] Peyronies disease surgery options include: […] Shortening the unaffected side of your penis. […] Making the side of your penis on the inside of the curve longer. […] Penile implant. […] It depends on the severity of your condition and what type of treatment you receive. A healthcare provider will give you an estimate on when you can expect to feel better after treatment.

    Intralesional verapamil is one of the treatment options available for peyronies disease. It is not FDA approved for this indication and therefore is considered an off label treatment. Published data suggests that 50% of patients will have some improvement in penile curvature and 50% will not. If curvature improvement is present usually modest, maybe 10-15 degree improvement. Occasionally, significant improvement can occur. It is a series of six injections which occur every two weeks. Side effects are uncommon and include mild swelling and bruising to the penis. Theres no limitation sexually in between treatments. […] Collagenase or Xiaflex is FDA approved for patients with peyronies disease and curvature between a30-90 degrees angle. The published data suggests that 70% of men will have a combination of improvement of patient bother and/or improvement in curvature after four treatments cycles. Each cycle consists of two collagenase injections separated by 3- 7days. This is followed by penile modeling or bending of the penis (done 3x daily for 30 seconds)- every day starting 2 days after the second treatment. This cycle is repeated 4 times. There should be no sexual activity for 4 weeks after the second treatment in the cycle.

    The present article reviews the clinical evidence for the medical management of Peyronies disease, including intralesional therapy, mechanical therapy, ESWT, oral therapy, and topical therapy. […] A recent systematic review concluded that the currently available clinical evidence from randomized trials only supports collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) and IFN-2b as being capable of improving penile curvature in patients with Peyronies disease. […] The best evidence of improvement of curvature in Peyronies disease exists for collagenase clostridium histolyticum. […] Intralesional interferon -2b has been shown to be superior to a placebo in improving penile curvature and plaque size in two small placebo-controlled studies. […] Currently, there is no good-quality evidence from randomized studies to support the use of verapamil.

    A single randomized controlled study assessing hyaluronic acid has been reported. […] Intralesional steroids have not been shown to have an advantage over a placebo in randomized studies. […] A network meta-analysis of eight randomized controlled studies suggested that in regards to penile curvature, CCH and interferon -2b are associated with better outcomes than verapamil or hyaluronic acid. […] In summary, mechanical therapy is now supported by randomized controlled trials in the acute and stable phase of Peyronies disease to improve penile curvature. […] The use of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for the reduction of penile curvature or plaque size is not recommended.

    This surgical procedure allows for improvement in curvature to the penis. It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and involves putting stitches on the opposite side of the penis that is curved. It does not remove the scar tissue. In the experience of the Yale Urology, we can correct approximately 65 curvature to the penis with this therapy. Post operatively, no sexual activity or stimulation is allowed for approximately six weeks. […] This operation is usually recommended in patients who have over a 70 curvature to the penis. It is recommended that this be performed by a urologist who has expertise in reconstructive surgery or sexual medicine. It is an outpatient procedure and sexual activity can be resumed approximately six to eight weeks after surgery. […] For patients with a combination of non resolvable erectile dysfunction and penile curvature from peyronies disease, a penile prosthesis is the recommended treatment of choice. […] The Yale Urology team offers all these treatments in men who have intact erectile function and peyronies disease. We have extensive experience with all these treatment options.

    Penile plication: During penile plication, we cut out or fold tissue on the curved side of your penis and secure it with stitches. Tightening the skin helps straighten your penis. The procedure can make the penis shorter, but its less likely than grafting to cause ED. […] If you have a curved penis and ED, your provider might recommend surgical penile implants (penile prostheses). Most implants are inflatable pumps that you can control when youre ready to have sex. In some cases, we do penile grafting or plication at the same time as the implantation procedure.

    In this type of surgery, your surgeon will make a cut, or incision, in the plaque, which will allow the penis to stretch out and become straight. In certain occasions, the plaque may be removed, or excised. When this is done, a piece of biologic tissue (graft) is sewn into place to cover the defect left by the incision or excision. This procedure is used in cases with severe curvature or deformity and comes with a greater risk of erectile function but less risk of penile shortening. […] The penile prosthesis is placed inside the penis and sometimes, is strong enough to overcome a mild to moderate curvature. Penile implant is a good option for patients with both Peyronies disease and erectile dysfunction. When the implant is put in place, Dr. Clavell might perform additional procedures to improve the curvature if needed.

    Peyronie’s disease rarely gets better on its own. For men who have a slight curve that isn’t getting worse and who have good erectile function, treatment usually is not needed. But if pain is a problem, or if the curve is getting worse and interfering with your sexual activity, then getting treatment may help. And early treatment during the acute phase may also work better than waiting until you’re in the chronic phase. […] Medicines may help treat pain and reduce how much the penis curves. They include: […] Surgery is only considered for men who have severe pain, a severely curved penis, or sexual dysfunction related to Peyronie’s disease.

    In a review of treatment for PD, Capoccia and Levine recommended that the optimal non-surgical treatment involves a combination of oral, intralesional, and external traction therapies. However, they concede that the optimal combination of medications remains elusive. […] The calcium channel blocker verapamil has gained attention for the treatment of PD since Lee and Ping found that it induced increased collagenase activity. […] If the plaque is located distally and the angulation is not very severe, a plication procedure can be offered. […] When the penile length or the patient’s preference precludes the use of penile plication and if the patient retains erectile ability, then an incision or excision of the plaque can be considered with grafting to reconstruct the tunica albuginea. […] The ideal graft material, which should be durable while elastic and tough but flexible, has not yet been identified.
