ORIGINÁLNÍ PRÁCE

reports showed relatively high rates (15–61%) of

impaired erectile function (EF) postoperatively in

the group of patients with leghtening and grafting

procedures (18, 19, 20). None of our patients took

medication for EF preoperatively, what had been

proven to be a positive prognosticator (21, 22).

With respect to our short term findings, we have

demonstrated high satisfactory rates. Even in uncir‑

cumcised men, we did not observe any bothering

complications. What supports the current view on

prepucium preservation in patients undergoing

penile degloving procedures. The mandatory is

to identify the avascular plane beween dartos and

Buck’s fascia. Generally, the overall complication

rate is less than 1%, as presented by Garaffa et al.

in the largest study (of 113 not circumcised pati‑

ents) to date. The risk of prepucial adverse events

is higher in patients with previous degloving ope‑

rations and phimosis (23).

Nevertheless, longer follow up is mandatory,

because recurrence of curvature or new onset

of ED are not uncommon sequelae within a time

frame of 5 years (24). Therefore, true rates of penile

shortening and ED after the surgery are generally

difficult to estimate. To our knowledge, there are

no studies comparing the surgical outcomes with

the controls. What makes to extrapolate the out‑

come data into the general PD patient’s population

after surgery slightly obscure. The extrapolation

of the outcome data into the general PD patients´

population is still slightly obscure. Surgery remains

the mainstay of PD treatment for complex deformi‑

ties. Until the true nature of mechanism by which

PD develops remains unclear, it will be difficult

to optimize the patient’s management and final

outcome. Understanding the mechanical aspects

of PD and the reason why, the disease tends to

progress pose the crucial factors for the future

multimodal treatment approach.

We believe that our modification can be an op‑

tional and acceptable enhancement of the current

surgical knowledge. However, one of the major

limitation is the small patient sample. That is why

we did not perform any statistical analysis and

clinicians should take our results with caution until

proven otherwise in a larger patients population

with at least moderate follow up.

CONCLUSION

We have demonstrated favorable outcomes in

a very small subset of patients with biplanar defor‑

mities in conjunction with the Peyronie’s disease.

An additional suture placement directly on the

pericard graft did not result in a higher complica‑

tion rate. According to our preliminary results we

presume, that our modification seems to be a safe

procedure. Nevertheless, it has to be further tested

on a larger patient’s scale with longer follow-up.
