Current and emerging treatment options for Peyronie's disease - Abstract
Published on 17 January 2014

Peyronie's disease (Peyronies Disease) is a condition of the penis, characterized by the presence of localized fibrotic plaque in the tunica albuginea.

Peyronies Disease is not an uncommon disorder, with recent epidemiologic studies documenting a prevalence of 3-9% of adult men affected. The actual prevalence of Peyronies Disease may be even higher. It is often associated with penile pain, anatomical deformities in the erect penis, and difficulty with intromission. As the definitive pathophysiology of Peyronies Disease has not been completely elucidated, further basic research is required to make progress in the understanding of this enigmatic condition. Similarly, research on effective therapies is limited. Currently, nonsurgical treatments are used for those men who are in the acute stage of Peyronies Disease, whereas surgical options are reserved for men with established Peyronies Disease who cannot successfully penetrate. Intralesional treatments are growing in clinical popularity as a minimally invasive approach in the initial treatment of Peyronies Disease. A surgical approach should be considered when men with Peyronies Disease do not respond to conservative, medical, or minimally invasive therapies for approximately 1 year and cannot have satisfactory sexual intercourse. As scientific breakthroughs in the understanding of the mechanisms of this disease process evolve, novel treatments for the many men suffering with Peyronies Disease are anticipated.

Much of this stuff is just written to enlarge publication lists of authors. Especially, this type of survey article. There are already way too much of these. And they always contain the same stuff. Now with the additional info: "Now we have Xiaflex approved. It's kinda crap, but hey better than nothing."
"Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering - an image of death."

I tend to agree, but what's the harm in posting these to the forum? They are published in leading urology journals through peer review process. Also, here's Ahmet Gokce's email address, he teaches out of a university in Istanbul, and he is lead author. Write him and tell him his academic work is crap. If you are going to say it publicly, you should say it to him personally as well: agokce@yildiz.edu.tr

This forum has no censorship, every member can express his view, even some may not like it.
If you want to teach us ethics, you are in the wrong place.
The link you have given is to a Turkish site, I think most of the members will not understand nothing.
Still you have not written nothing regarding your connection to Peyronies except the opening post of your topic that can't understand nothing from it except that you are not happy with your uro and want to find an other one:

You had no time to update us from January 13, 2014, so really difficult to understand your agenda.
Do you want to promote those doctors?
Myself, didn't found nothing new from all the posts/links you have provided that I was not aware of it before. Non of them are researches, they are all compilations based on some other researches.

Just for information i checked that link, there is nothing related to Peyronies Disease in Ahmet Goc site, interest file, publication and experience included.

I agree with James. I don't understand his agenda, and our site never intented to become a repository for everything published on this topic. There are many journals because many doctors out there get their research funded by publishing studies. I'm not saying this is bad or wrong, as it is w way to cause research to happen. But there are many articles out there don't come to a firm conclusion and may not be relevant to what we are doing here. So we very much depend on our forum members to screen and then reference or pass on a article that has some merit to it and some qulitative conclusions.

Thanks MeMo, I got to the same conclusion while reading about the mentioned doctor :)
Just I am not speaking/reading Turkish now for more than 7 years, so I don't wanted to write something wrong :)
By the way, positiveoutlook was online yesterday, but he had no time to answer my question about his connection to Peyronies.
His last post in the subject was at January 12.

And read this also regarding "scientific publications". It is happening in all the scientific brunches.
