What's new in Peyronie's disease.
Within the past year further scientific studies have been performed to find the aetiology of Peyronie's disease. Advances in the conservative management of the disease by extracorporeal shockwave therapy have been reported in many centres. The operation of plaque excision and grafting, which has been performed for over 25 years, has now been replaced by the superior operation of plaque incision with venous patch.
