Peyronie's disease (lat. induratio penis plastica) is a process of the fibrotic plaques oand other localized fibrotic conditions have been considered to be the result of an abnormal size, pain and improved penile curvature.
At early stages intralesional injections may decrease penile curvature and decrease plaque volume although the exact mechanism of action on Peyronie disease is unknown. In serious cases surgery is recommended, based on ultrasound examination, cavernosography and cavernosometry. There are three mail surgical procedures to correct the curvature in Peyronie's disease: Nesbit plication, plaque excision followed by skin grafting, another autograft or synthetic material, and implantation of a penile prosthesis Aim of this study is to present our experience in surgical treatment of severe stadium in Peyronie's disease. Peyronie plaque was excised in 8 man, previously potent with severe satium of the disease. In every case saphenous autograft replacing excised plaque was used. In every case was not intra and postoperative complications. All patients reported satisfactory cosmetic and functional result. The satisfactory result of the treatment of severe stadium Peyronie disease is based on the surgical method. Saphenous graft is effective, safe and successful technique in our knowledge.
