Peyronie's disease - Beyond the bend: Historical, epidemiological, clinical, genetic and molecular biological aspects
Daan Mohede
In spite of the increased knowledge on Peyronie's disease (Peyronies Disease) over the past decades, there is no curative treatment up till now. We discuss recent guidelines and present an overview of nonsurgical treatments throughout the ages. We next summarise the long-term outcomes of surgical interventions in our hospital. Overall, we conclude that after surgical treatment of Peyronies Disease, sexual function improves to a level equal to that of untreated patients. However, results vary between the different interventions.

Hi,
I read, the cost for Visudyne intravenous powder for injection 15 mg is around $1,810 for a supply of 1 powder for injection.
what can we say about the amounts of verteporin that might be effective? It seems remarkable for wound healing without scarring, but what about established scars?
do you know what was supposed to be the original element in the thesis ? The comments about sexual function after surgery are not consistent: it can't "vary" if there are no adverse effects, and we can easily Google to find them.
Good question Projectpd! I dont know what the original element is in the thesis, but from the papers published there is some research done by Mohede on Visudyne intravenous powder and research on the psychologic effect of peyronie. Dr Mohede is not my doctor, but if there are questions I can try to email him to ask if he wants to share or clarify some things on the forum.
I wanted to share this thesis because of the overview it gives and the basic understanding about the disease.
More important: the thesis got media attentions on Dutch national television and newspapers, so hopefully contributes to more awareness.
