Objectives: The objective of our study is to discover and evaluate the effects of repeated intralesional injections inside the tunica albuginea of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of Peyronie's disease (PD).
Methods: As part of a prospective study over 12 months from February 2020 until February 2021, on Sixty-five patients with Peyronie's disease, and penile curvature between 25 and 45°. Patients were stratified into two groups, the first with a curvature between 25 and 35° and the second between 35 and 45°. Gathered data included patient-demographics, Injection technique, outcomes: both quantitative (curvature assessments) and qualitative (state of erectile function, pain during intercourse), and complications.
Unlabelled: Patients in both groups received an average of 6.1 injections of PRP during the study period. Angulation was significantly improved in both groups an average final improvement of 16.88° (SD = 3.35) (p < 0.001) in the first group and 17.27° (SD = 4.22) (p < 0.001) in the second group. Pain during sex decreased from 70.7% to 34.25%, and 55.5% of patients had easier sexual intercourse.
Unlabelled: The positive results of our series of treatment for Peyronie's disease by injection of platelet-rich plasma are encouraging both methodologically (simplicity) and clinical (safety and efficacy) as well as patient satisfaction.

Penile suspensory ligament: anatomy, function, and clinical perspectives of its repair.
J Sex Med
January 2025
Department of Urology, Holmesglen Private Hospital, Moorabbin 3189, Victoria, Australia.
Background: The penile suspensory ligament (PSL) plays a significant role in penile support and erection and its injury or congenital absence may result in functional impairment of erectile function.
Aim: To describe the diagnosis and surgical repair technique for PSL abnormalities and overall outcomes.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to understand the anatomic relevance of the PSL and historical management of PSL defects.
Purpose Of Review: Peyronie's disease characterizes a condition in which there is angular curvature of the penis. We know that the most patients with Peyronie's disease will not have spontaneous resolution of their penile curvature. As such, patients who desire treatment can elect for either surgical or nonsurgical therapy.

Department of Urology, Clinical Centre of Montenegro, Ljubljanska bb, 81000, Podgorica, Montenegro.
We present a case of a 66-year-old man with a three-year history of Gleason 10 prostate cancer (PCa), who presented with penile pain, erythema, and induration of the penile shaft. His cancer was treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), radiotherapy, and apalutamide, resulting in PSA reduction; however, a solitary penile lesion persisted, necessitating radical penectomy. At 12 months post-surgery, PSA levels and magnetic resonance imaging findings remained stable, with no signs of metastasis.

Department of Urology, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH 03756, United States.
Background: Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion is recommended for the treatment of patients with Peyronie's disease (PD) and significant erectile dysfunction (ED); adjunctive procedures can be used for residual curvature after IPP placement.
Aim: To assess the management of penile curvature correction in PD patients undergoing IPP procedures within a large multinational, multicenter cohort.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on PD patients treated with IPP by 11 experienced prosthetic surgeons.
Inhibition of phosphodiesterases 1 and 4 prevents myofibroblast transformation in Peyronie's disease.
BJU Int
December 2024
Fibrosis Research Group, Medical Technology Research Centre, Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, UK.
Objectives: To investigate which phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoforms are expressed in fibroblasts isolated from the tunica albuginea (TA) of patients with Peyronie's disease (PD), and to measure the potency of PDE inhibitors in preventing transformation of these fibroblasts to profibrotic myofibroblasts.
Materials And Methods: Fibroblasts isolated from the TA of men undergoing surgery for correction of PD curvature were transformed to myofibroblasts using transforming growth factor beta-1. The expression of 21 PDE isoforms was investigated using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and protein analysis, as were the effects of various PDE inhibitors on prevention of myofibroblast transformation.
