ABSTRACT
Peyronie’s disease is a pathology that is characterized by a deformity of the penis during erection that can be curved, indented, hourglass-shaped, or shortened. It can also be accompanied with erectile dysfunction. Current treatment techniques consist of applying healthy tunica albuginea, which results in a shortening of the total length of the penis.
The technique that we used is based on a single circumferential relaxing incision that is bifurcated at its ends.
The single relaxing incision with the application of the geometric principle is a standard procedure that can be used to correct any type of penile curvature.
