Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the mid- and long-term outcomes of Peyronie's disease surgery using different graft materials by analyzing 115 patients treated by a single surgeon from 2014 to 2020.
- Results showed that operations using autologous saphenous venous grafts took longer, but patients using porcine intestinal submucosal and bovine pericardial grafts experienced shorter postoperative loss of sensation and less penile length loss.
- The research indicates that extracellular matrix grafts are generally more effective than autologous grafts, especially for patients with severe penile curvature.
