Abstract

The aim of the study was to validate clinical methodology on application
of shock-wave impact on plaques in Peyronie's disease
(PD). We studied short- and long-term results of extracorporeal
shock-wave therapy (ESWT) in 54 patients 3, 6 and 12 months after
the exposure. We performed ESWT sessions on different lithotriptors
using different mechanisms of shock wave mechanism (hydromechanical
and piezoelectric). Choice of the ESWT technique was based
on the thickness and density of the plaque. The proposed ESWT
method provides an effective treatment of the disease basing on the
initial angle of penis deformation in erection.
