title: [Correction of acquired penile curvatures].
abstract: Penile acquired curvatures are related to the effects of the evolution of Peyronie's disease or to the results of conservative treatments. All the others (post-traumatic, post surgical) are quite rare and often therapeutically similar. More than 50% of penile acquired curvatures can today take advantage from pharmacophysical managements thanks to the technological progresses of industry and of the personal experience (cavernopharmacoperfusion) both being clinically suitable application for the effective results: more than 60% of stop in progression with decrease of the recurvatum enough to resume comfortable sexual intercourse. Last, when erectile failure is present, we suggest prosthesis implant preferring flexible-malleable device such as AMS 600. More recently we started an effective experience with the new silicone elastomers of Subrini (Virilis II). Both implants never required complementary surgery of the plaque to achieve straightening and sexual activity of satisfactory level.
