Abstract
Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a superficial fibrosing disorder of the penis resulting in plaque formation and penile deformity. Once considered rare, PD has more recently been found in up to 13 % of men, and can negatively affect sexual and psychosocial function of both patients and their partners. While the etiology of PD is unclear, it is thought to result from an inciting traumatic event followed by aberrant fibrosis or dysregulated wound healing. The evaluation of men presenting with PD includes a detailed history and physical examination, focusing on the penis in both the flaccid and erect states. PD is often associated with erectile dysfunction (ED), as well as several other comorbidities. Laboratory testing is not needed to diagnose PD, although given the associations between PD and systemic diseases including hypogonadism, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, screening and workup for these conditions in men with PD may be warranted. Treatment modalities for PD are diverse and include oral, topical, intralesional, mechanical, and surgical therapies. Oral, topical, and mechanical therapies generally have little evidence supporting their efficacy. Several intralesional therapies, including interferon α2b and collagenase Clostridium histolyticum, have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of PD. Surgical treatment, indicated in men with significant, stable deformity, includes plication of the tunica albuginea, plaque incision/excision and grafting, and placement of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) with or without additional maneuvers to achieve desired results, and has high success rates.
