Inflatable penile prosthesis placement in Peyronie's disease: a review of surgical considerations, approaches, and maneuvers.

ABSTRACT: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea that results in penile deformity and/or curvature. Patients usually present complaining of penile pain, shortening and deformity resulting in dissatisfaction with intercourse. Many patients with PD will present with concomitant erectile dysfunction (ED). This disease is a significant concern for patients as it impacts both sexual function and overall quality of life. While there are several interventions available for PD treatment, inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation is considered the gold standard approach for those with moderate to severe concomitant ED, refractory to medical therapy. The goal of treatment is to give a man a functionally straight erection. Placement of an IPP alone may achieve this. Howeve
