“…Grafting techniques result in little change or an increase in SPL in 44% to 83% of patients after surgery. A summary of penile length changes is shown in Table 2 [29,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

“…In 2006, Greenfi eld et al [43] evaluated 77 men with chordee and PD who underwent tunica albuginea plication (TAP) and reported a mean loss in stretched fl accid penile length of 2.4% compared with preoperative measurements (0.36 ± 0.5 cm, with a range of 0 to 2.5 cm). SPL was measured as the distance between the pubic bone by compressing the fat pad to the corona dorsally.…”

Penile shortening following radical prostatectomy and straightening procedures for Peyronie's disease can be a devastating and unwelcome side effect of these operations. The majority of men undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer have a measured loss of penile length, which also can occur in men with Peyronie's disease and may be exacerbated by surgery. Recent studies have investigated the mechanisms resulting in penile shortening, and various treatments have emerged to prevent and treat postoperative penile shortening. This article reviews the recent literature on penile length loss after radical prostatectomy and following correction of penile deformity for Peyronie's disease.

“…There were no differences between the two groups with regards to any of the reported clinical characteristics (table 1) ILI IFN is a minimally invasive intervention that circumvents the morbidity and potential complications associated with surgery 19 . When used in patients with ventral plaques, one may expect >20% reduction in curvature in 52%, which is similar to the response to ILI IFN seen in dorsal plaques.…”
