To date, there is no high-level, evidence-based data to suggest the best surgical treatment for Peyronie's disease. The choice of the perfect treatment should be determined by a two-way conversation between the urologist and the patient, taking into account the severity of the disease, the patient's preference and the surgeon's comfort. There are studies comparing different surgical modalities but the results are not consistent. Major problems include the lack of a standardized training regime, facilitating teaching; the low incidence of the disease, meaning that few doctors are able to accumulate extensive experience in the subject. In our opinion, surgical treatment is currently the only treatment modality that provides an acute and satisfactory result for the deformity associated with Peyronie's disease.
