Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Peyronie’s Disease: Results of a Placebo-Controlled, Prospective, Randomized,
Single-Blind Study - (Georgios Hatzichristodoulou, MD, Christoph Meisner, PhD, Jürgen E. Gschwend, MD,
Arnulf Stenzl, MD, and Sven Lahme, MD) - Primary end point was decrease of pain between baseline and after 4 weeks follow-up. Secondary end points were changes in deviation, plaque size, and sexual function. Pain was assessed by a visual analog
scale. Deviation was measured by a goniometer after artificial erection using Alprostadil (Viridal®, Schwarz Pharma,
Monheim, Germany). Plaque size was measured with a ruler and sexual function assessed by a scale regarding the
ability to perform sexual intercourse. More..

Role of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in management of Peyronie’s disease: A preliminary report -(Rajendra Kashinath Shimpi, Ravi Jineshkumar Jain Department of Urology and Genito-Urinary Surgery, Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, Maharashtra, India) - Peyronie’s Disease (PD) is a disease causing psycho social trauma to the patient. Multiple treatment options are available with variable results. Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a new insight into the non invasive modality of management. It focuses on the mechanism of inducing angiogenesis in the penile cavernous tissue. More..

Stromal Vascular Fraction Combined with Shock Wave for the Treatment of Peyronie’s Disease -(Elliot B. Lander, MD, Mark H. Berman, MD, Jackie R. See, MD) - This pilot study was used to evaluate safety and subjective out-comes in a small series of Peyronie’s disease patients using a combination of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and penile shock wave treat-ments. SVF can be procured and deployed into Peyronie’s plaques, en-abling the surgeons to procure and mobilize significant numbers of both adult mesenchymal stem cells and antiinflammatory cytokines released from the adipose collagen matrix after collagen digestion.
