Abstract
Plastic induration of the penis (PIP, Peyronie's disease) is an acquired and chronic disease of the penis, which is characterized by penile pain, distortion and deformation of the penis as well as the resulting impairments in sexual activity of the patient. The most probable causes are microtrauma and macrotrauma within the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa, which due to an abnormal wound healing subsequently leads to the formation of fibrosis in this region. Various predisposing factors and also a genetic predisposition are discussed. The PIP occurs most frequently in the fifth to sixth decades of life. The prevalence is 0.3-20% depending on the investigated collective and the risk factors present. The PIP is subdivided into an acute inflammatory phase and a chronic postinflammatory phase. Various conservative and surgical treatment options include oral medication, penile traction therapy, intralesional injections and surgical procedures.
