[The current principles of the conservative treatment of patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy].

The etiopathogenesis, risk factors, and natural history of benign prostate hyperplasia are issues still not well enough clarified.

Twenty eight patients with induratio penis plastica and marked erectile deformity were operated and followed up at the Department of Urology.

[The conservative treatment of Peyronie's disease with orgotein].

Results are analyzed of treatment of patients with induratio penis plastica by local application of orgotein. Fifteen patients with clinically manifest disease were the subject of this study; 4-8 mg Orgotein bulk was applied once a week in a total course of 8 to 10 injections. Criteria for the effect of treatment were: regression of the plaque consistency and size; decrease in the erectile deformity; change or disappearance of pain.
