Peyronies, Grafting, Indentation Deformity

This video demonstrates a modified approach to Extra-Tunical Grafting for peyronie’s disease indentation deformity. Peyronie’s disease is characterized by penile plaque or scar within the tunica albuginea. This results in penile deformity, most commonly penile curvature but also volume loss deformity such as hourglass or indentation. This volume loss occurs in up to 65% of men with Peyroine’s disease. Surgical management for patients with significant deformity includes plaque incision/partial excision and penile grafting with an absorbable grafting material. In the original description of extra-tunical grafting, the grafting material was placed over Buck’s fascia via a ventral longitudinal incision. In our modified technique, the grafting material is placed under Buck’s fascia and superficial to the tunica albuginea, which allows the grafting material to be less palpable in the flaccid condition.
