The Lue procedure: an analysis of the outcome in Peyronie's disease.
BJU International 2002 March
OBJECTIVE: To assess the Lue procedure (plaque incision and venous grafting) for correcting the penile deformity of Peyronie's disease (which can cause penile shortening and erectile dysfunction) as an alternative to the Nesbit procedure (which can worsen the shortening).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-one patients (mean age 51 years, range 27-68) with Peyronie's disease had their penile deformity corrected by plaque incision and saphenous vein grafting. All patients had stable Peyronie's disease and a mean (range) penile deformity of 57 (20-90). The vein graft was taken from the long saphenous vein at the ankle or groin and several sites grafted in 14 patients. The mean follow-up was 16 months.
RESULTS: An excellent or satisfactory result was obtained in 47 patients (92%); the penis was completely straightened in 42 (82%). Four patients (8%) developed postoperative erectile dysfunction. Eighteen men (35%) had some degree of penile shortening (> 1 cm in eight), among whom intercourse was affected to a variable extent in six (12%).
CONCLUSION: The Lue procedure is an effective option in the surgical management of Peyronie's disease, but penile shortening after surgery remains a risk.
