[Complex therapy of plastic induration of the penis]

The data of 56 patients with plastic induration of the penis treated at the Department of Urology of Semmelweis University Medical School are presented. After a survey of the literature and of the therapeutic possibilities the surgical solution worked out by the authors recommended. Conservative treatment alone cannot secure a cure and its pre-operative application will not improve the chances of a cure. A palpable knot is the indication for surgery. Postoperative cease on ultrasonic treatment. If for some reason (concomitant illness, oppositions of the patient to operation) only conservative treatment can be applied, ultrasonic therapy is believed the most suitable.
