Functional results after operations of penile deviations: an institutional experience.
From 1989 till 1994, a total of 87 patients were operated on because of acquired or congenital curvature of the penis. Review of findings pre- and peroperatively together with postoperative questionnaires were the basis of our study. Seventy-six per cent of the patients answered the questionnaires, and we evaluated the results of these 66 patients. The purpose was to study the functional outcome of our methods related to etiology and selection of patients. The success rate for patients suffering from Peyronie's disease was 61%, while in congenital deviation 74%. The incidence of recurrence, erectile dysfunction and suture related complications were high Methodological problems as well as failing selection and standardisation of routines are weak points.
