The Emerging Role of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Platforms for the Assessment of Penile Curvature: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of the review

The estimation of penile curvature is an essential component in the assessment of both Peyronie's disease and hypospadias-associated congenital penile curvature, as the degree of curvature can significantly impact treatment decision-making. However, there is a lack of standardization in curvature assessment and current methodologies are prone to inaccuracies. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in urology, new research has explored its applications in penile curvature assessment. This review aims to evaluate the current uses of AI and other automated platforms for assessing penile curvature.

Recent findings

Several novel and promising tools have been developed to estimate penile curvature, some utilizing AI-driven models and others employing a
