ABSTRACT
Objective: To present three cases of patients with severe Peyronie’s disease who were successfully treated with the application of porcine intestinal submucosa (Surgisis) as a surgical treatment option.Clinical cases: Three cases of patients with Peyronie’s disease are presented who were initially managed conservatively with 300 mg vitamin E every twenty-four hours and 1 mg colchicine every twelve hours for a period of six to nine months with no clinical improvement. Surgical treatment was performed with H incision of the plaque and application of porcine intestinal submucosa for the correction of penile curvature. The three patients showed penile curvature correction by means of test with alprostadil three months after surgery.
Conclusions: The use of porcine intestinal submucosa as treatment for Peyronie’s disease has been shown to be an effective technique with low complication rate, currently making it the treatment of choice in severe cases of the disease.
