Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of the surgical technique used by the authors on Peyronie's
disease (PD) patients who underwent surgical treatment with a temporalis fascia autograft.
Materials and Methods: Patients with normal erectile functions and > 60° penile curvature who underwent surgical
treatment with temporalis fascia autografts were included in this retrospective study. The patients were recruited
between January 2017 and May 2021. Preoperative assessment included the International Index of Erectile
Function erectile function (IIEF-EF) score, penile duplex and penile curvature angle measurement. Postoperative
self-reports, penile deformity, IIEF-EF scores and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaire
were assessed every three months.
Results: Twenty-two patients with a mean age of 52.09 ± 6.61 years were included in the study, and no major complications developed in any case. Postoperative assessment revealed curvature relapse in seven patients (31.8%), although no intervention was performed on five patients with < 20° curvature. Six patients experienced a postoperative decrease in penile length and erectile function was completely preserved in 68.18%. The mean level of satisfaction with surgery measured using the visual analogue scale was 79.13 ± 21.23.
Conclusion: The temporalis fascia graft, thin and durable graft, is a highly successful therapeutic option in the
surgical treatment of PD patients and a good alternative in terms of its cosmetic and functional results.
