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.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
