On the therapy of induratio penis plastica (Peyronies disease) by means of radium moulages.
In the past 50 years 2210 patients suffering from induratio penis plastica were admitted to our department. In 69% of the cases an improvement could be observed within 18 months after radium moulage therapy. By improving radium protection the therapy may now be performed without any significant exposure of the testes. A 15 year old patient is the youngest case reported in world literature. Trend analyses show a case shift towards the senium.
