[Tunica vaginalis autografting in Peyronie's disease].
Surgical excision of the indurated penile plaque and tunica vaginalis autografting was done in 3 patients. Preoperatively, their chief complaints had not been impotence but penile angulation or pain. Postoperatively, all of them improved and erectile failure was not seen, although hypesthesia of glans developed in all patients. One patient complained of impotence. The patients had been followed from 2 months to 9 months. As prosthesis is not prevailing in Japan and tunica vaginalis is easy to procure and handle, tunica vaginalis autografting is recommended.
