PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of plaque incision and venous patch grafting to correct the dorsal curvature associated with Peyronie's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 18 patients with Peyronie's disease were treated surgically. All of the patients have dorsal penile curvature for more than one year causing intromission impossible or with some difficulty because of curvature. Median penile angulatio was 60 degrees (range 45 degrees-75 degrees). A transverse incision about 2 cm long was made on the plaque where maximal site of curvature was identified. The saphenous vein harvested from the ankle region is opened longitudinally and its endothelial surface is placed and sutured in contact with the tunical defect. RESULTS: Complete penile straightening was achieved in 16 (88.8%) cases and only two patients have residual curvature less than 30 degrees permitting sexual intercourse. None of the patients returned to baseline preoperative angulation state in the follow up period. 3 patients (16.6%) reported penile shortening, but only one was concerned and showed dissatisfaction about it. 6 patients (33.3%) have transient changes in penile sensation that resolved within 4 months. CONCLUSIONS: Plaque incision and placement of saphenous vein patch graft offers a 94.4% satisfactory result in Peyronie's disease causing penile dorsal curvature.
