Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy of plaque thinning with carbide burs and improved Nesbit technique in the treatment of Peyronie's disease.
METHODSFollow-up studies were made on 11 patients with Peyronie's disease treated by plaque thinning with carbide burs and the improved Nesbit technique.
RESULTSSatisfactory results were achieved in all the cases. Nine cases without ED could now complete sexual intercourse. Of the 8 cases with penile curvature, only 2 failed to be completely corrected. And of the 5 cases with erectile pain, only 2 still had slight intermittent pain during erection. However, neither the incompletely corrected curvature nor the slight intermittent pain affected the patients' sexual life.
CONCLUSIONSPlaque thinning with carbide burs and improved Nesbit technique for the treatment of Peyronie's disease have many advantages, such as easy manipulation, good short-term results, few complications, and rare recurrence, while its long-term results are not yet clear.
