Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition affecting millions of men worldwide, especially those with metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). Peyronie’s disease (PD), characterized by the formation of fibrotic plaques in the tunica albuginea of the penis, is one of the main causes of worsening ED. When conservative treatment fails, penile prosthesis implantation becomes an effective alternative. This article presents a review on the use of penile prosthesis implantation in patients with refractory ED associated with PD, based on current evidence and relevant studies. Psychological effects associated with PD and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treating these patients are also addressed.
