[Surgical treatment of plastic induration of the penis].
In a period of two years 16 patients with induration penis plastica were observed; 11 needed treatment. The therapy was performed according to the degree of severity with vitamin E or local injections of hyaluronidase-dexamethasone. When the conservative therapy failed the foci were removed by operation and the defect was covered by lyophilised dura. The results are rather encouraging. Disturbances of the erection could not be observed. In selected cases of successless conservative therapy the excision with covering of the dura seems to represent an accessible alternative.
