Abstract

Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a disease caused by the formation of fibrous plaques in the penis. The disease can cause curvature of the penis, causing pain and hindering the patient's sexual activities. In Vietnam, the rate of patients coming for examination and treatment for PD is still low, and there are no statistics or research on this disease. Penile anatomical characteristics (curvature, direction of curvature, size) are important factors to choose a surgical method for a patient. Purpose: Describe some penile anatomical characteristics of Peyronie’s disease patients operated on at Viet Duc University Hospital. Methods: Descriptive study on 33 PD patients treated surgically at the Andrology Center - Viet Duc University Hospital, from January 2017 to June 2022. Results: The majority of patients had an upward curvature of the penis (42.4%). The curvature of the middle 1/3 of the penis is most common with 54.6%. The average penile curvature is 60.6° ± 10.2°. The average penile length is 11.8 ± 1.9 cm. Conclusion: It is necessary to determine the curvature characteristics and size of the penis to choose the appropriate surgical method for the patient.
