Abstract
Although men afflicted with Peyronie's disease (PD) usually have a number of treatment options, those who also present with erectile dysfunction (ED) arising from unknown or iatrogenic causes are not easily treated. Surgical straightening procedures that have been used to treat PD may not restore erectile function and failure to straighten the penis with surgery may be the result of erectile inadequacy during the post-operative period. This paper discusses penile prosthesis implantation as a surgical option for patients with PD, placing emphasis on the choice of devices and surgical techniques. Several new techniques which hold the promise of high success rates and low morbidity are mentioned.
