OBJECTIVE: A new surgical method of treating @entity545 consisting in intracavernosal excision of the plaque is presented. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The operation was performed on 16 @entity1 aged from 34 to 65 years (mean 50.2 years). The angle of @entity546 was 30 degrees to 60 degrees. Thirteen (81.25%) had impaired intercourse because of @entity546 and in 3 (18.75%) @entity1 it was prevented by marked @entity546 . The mean quality of life score (QoL) was evaluated as 4.8. The operation consists in incising the corpus cavernosum parallel to the plaque and through this incision removing the plaque from the inside without incising or replacing the underlaying tunica albuginea. RESULTS: Follow-up examinations made after 3, 6 and 12 months revealed normal, painless erection in all the @entity1 . In 2 (12.5%) intercourse was impaired only by persistent @entity546 of over 20 degrees. Mean QoL score -1.1. CONCLUSIONS: In our opinion intracavernosal plaque excision is a simple method, easier to perform and less invasive than the operative methods applied to date. It eliminates the @entity158 , does not result in a shortening of the penis, @entity1109 or @entity323 . It ensures a considerable improvement in the QoL of the @entity1 treated.
