[Therapy of penile plastic duration using radium moulages].

During the last 42 years, 1524 patients with I.p.p. were treated in our department. In 69% of the cases (173 out of 248) an improvement was observed within 13 months, following therapy with radium moulages. Through improved radiation protection this therapy can be performed without undue exposure of the testes. A 15 year old patient ist the youngest case on record. Trend-calculations show a progressive tendency of this disease in later years.
