Methods: From December 2014 to September 2016, 100 eligible candidates with benign prostatic hyperplasia were prospectively recruited and randomized 1:1 into M-TURP/B-TURP arms (58 and 42 patients, respectively) and followed up at 1, 3 and 6 months.

Background: Peyronie's disease is a disorder of the tunica albuginea and causes penile curvature, requiring surgical correction when the deformity impedes penetration.
Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of the short-term results (penile length, angle of curvature and erectile function) of treating Peyronie's disease in 10 patients through cavernoplasty with oral mucosa graft. Essentially, the treatment included the incision of the fibrotic plaque with electrical scalpel and the subsequent coating of the cavernous defect using a patch of oral mucosa.
