Abstract

93 patients have been treated for Peyronie's disease. 51 patients with severe discomfort received less than 10 grays external radiotherapy. Six months later, 69% of the patients were satisfied. The remaining patients (31%) were operated by a contralateral plication technique. We obtained 65% good results with this technique. This protocol is indicated for patients with severe discomfort with marked deformity.
