Peyronie's Disease Peyronie's disease is due to a plaque (scar) of the tunica albuginea lining the erectile chambers resulting in a tethering and curving of the erect penis, sometimes known as the "bent spike syndrome". Surgical options include: Incision or excision of the plaque with placement of a graft. Plication or removal of several wedges of the tunica albuginea on the opposite side. This will result in penile shortening. Therefore, some men desire simultaneous penile lengthening to compensate for the shortening produced by the surgery. If erectile impairment is present, a penile prosthesis can be inserted at the time that the plaque is incised or excised. Sometimes, placement of the penile prosthesis alone corrects the curving of the penis. Currently the Grip System is conducting tests on patients using the Grip System for curing Peyronie's disease. So far results are extremely pleasing and we hope to have before and after photos available soon. For more information please contact a counselor at 1-877-655-4747
