Peyronie's disease is a fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea of the penis resulting in varying degrees of penile curvature and sexual dysfunction. Diagnosis of the disorder is made by detailed sexual history and focused physical examination. A wide range of medical treatments has been employed to treat the disorder. Verapamil treatment administered by intraplaque injection is supported by generally consistent randomized controlled trials (RCT). Some RCT evidence exists to support the use of colchicine, potaba, L-carnitine and liposomal superoxide dismutase. Future studies of medical efficacy should focus on improving RCT design, implementation and results reporting to improve the quality of evidence generated by each study. The surgical treatment of Peyronie's disease is a viable and recommended alternative for men with compromised sexual function due to severe curvature or lesions causing penile instability. The choice of corrective procedure should be tailored to each patient after a detailed evaluation of disease severity and sexual function.

Peyronie's disease is characterized by the formation of a plaque of the tunica albuginea that leads to a mainly dorsally directed penile curvature and penile shortening due to scarification. The exact ethiopathology remains unclear. The natural history of the disease is variable, ranging from spontaneous remissions to chronic, and including severe penile curvature. Therapy should be conservative in the early, painful, progressive phase. No conservative medical or semi-invasive treatment modality, such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy or radiation therapy, is currently available for curing all of the symptoms of this disorder in all patients. All studies with a controlled design showed poor therapeutic outcomes that are frequently identical to the natural course. Surgical therapy should only be performed in the stable stage of the disease. This means that Peyronie's disease should have been present for at least 12 months, and the patient should not have suffered from pain or the progression of symptoms for at least 6 months. The surgical treatment modalities comprise plication procedures (Essed-Schroeder, Nesbit), plaque-incisions with grafting, and the insertion of penile implants with simultaneous correction of the curvature by "penile cracking" or incisions of the plaque.

Die IPP ist durch die die Symptome peniler Plaque, penile Schmerzen, Deviation und in Einzelfällen auch durch eine begleitende Erektile Dysfunktion (ED) gekennzeichnet. Morphologisch liegt der Induratio penis plastica eine Plaquebildung der Tunica albuginea der Corpora cavernosa zugrunde. Deren Ätiopathogenese ist jedoch unklar, sodass es bisher auch keine kausale medikamentöse, instrumentelle oder operative Therapie gibt.
