title: Laser vaporization of Peyronie's plaques.
abstract: A series of four cases of surgical excision or vaporization of Peyronie's plaques using the Neodynium/Yag laser is presented. This technique would appear to decrease the need for grafting procedures with minimal blood loss. It results in straight erections without shortening the penis.
