Residual penile curvature correction by modeling during penile prosthesis implantation in Peyronie’s disease patients

Abstract With the advent of new surgical techniques to treat Peyronie’s disease with concomitant erectile dysfunction, there remains a question of whether manual modeling, an older technique, still has a place in the treatment algorithm within penile prosthesis surgery. While the implantation of a penile prosthetic often corrects moderate to severe curvature, penile curvature, in some cases, remains greater than 30°. In these cases, manual modeling should be the first line of treatment for persisting intraoperative penile curvature after the placement of a penile prosthetic due to its long-term efficacy, noninvasive approach, and lack of adverse effects.
