Article Synopsis
- Penile prosthesis (PP) is a key treatment for Peyronie's disease (PD) in patients with refractory erectile dysfunction (ED), but this study evaluates its use in PD patients without ED.
- A total of 636 patients had PP for PD from 2012 to 2022, with 168 included in the study, showing that the mean age was 56.3 years and curvature angles were similar between those with and without ED.
- Results indicated high satisfaction rates (around 88%) for both groups post-surgery, and fewer mechanical failures in the no-ED group; thus, PP may be a safe and effective option for PD treatment, but more research is needed.
