Repeatability in measuring curvature in Peyronie's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite guideline recommendations to assess Peyronie's disease (PD) curvature during an intracavernous injection-induced erection, no standardized measurement protocol exists, and considerable interobserver variability remains.

Aim

To evaluate the interobserver reliability of penile curvature measurements in patients with PD and to determine if image annotation enhances measurement consistency.

Methods

In this study, 4 experienced urologists independently assessed erect penile curvature in 22 male patients enrolled in a prospective PD clinical trial. Two image sets per patient were analyzed: 1 consisting of self-captured photographs taken at home and the other obtained in the clinic after intracavernosal injection of alprostadil. Each image set included sta
