Moderate to severe curvature with poor erections - the penile prosthesis has been very successful with these patients. Just by inflating the prosthesis alone, adequate straightening may occur. If still more straightening is needed, an incision is made and the plaque exposed and incised or excised. In those patients whose disease has left them with unacceptable shortening, we have obtained highly satisfactory results by combining the above procedures with a lengthening procedure. Significant length gain can be obtained in this manner.
Patients can go home the same day or the next day.
Intercourse can take place in 6 weeks. Complications can include bleeding, infection, numbness, shortening, inadequate curvature correction, discomfort lasting more than a few days. We have never seen permanent sensory loss, worsening of erections, or ejaculatory problems. It is important for patients to understand that while penile curvature can be markedly improved and erectile function restored, once the patient has Peyronie's disease, his penis will never be the same as before the disease developed.
