Article Synopsis
- The study examined the outcomes of Peyronie’s disease patients treated with two types of grafts: tunica vaginalis (TV) and buccal mucosa (BM), over two years.
- Both groups showed similar rates of technical success, significant improvements in erectile function, and increased penile length post-surgery.
- Overall, both graft materials were equally effective in reducing penile curvature and enhancing sexual function without notable differences between the two approaches.
Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a two-phase progressive condition characterized by inelastic plaques in the tunica albuginea of the penis, leading to curvature of the penis. Men with PD also suffer from psychological distress, and sexual life and overall quality of life. Although the preferred surgical treatment modality in Peyronie's disease is plaque incision and grafting, there is lack of studies assessing the erectile function and penile vasculature after the treatment.

Methods: This was a prospective evaluation of patients with stable-phase PD who were treated by plaque incision and buccal mucosa grafting. Preoperative evaluation included International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF-5), measurement of erect penile length, and penile Doppler ultrasound during prostaglandin-induced erection.
