Discover the avant-garde treatments for curved penis that can make a difference
In November 2016, the first non-surgical treatment based on collagenase was introduced in Florence, an innovative substance that degrades plaque into its collagen component. Not all patients have the characteristics to be subjected to this treatment for this reason surgery still plays a role in this pathology with variable penile straightening techniques with or without the use of penile prostheses.
Clostidrium histolyticum collagenase
Collagenase of Clostridium histolyticum is an enzyme composed of two different types of collagenase specifically indicated to degrade the fibrous component of the plaque. The treatment involves inserting this enzyme into the plaque by associating the chemical action of the drug with the physical action of specific manoeuvres. The recovery of the curvature and the improvement of the elasticity will depend on the percentage of calcified tissue inside the plaque.
Collagenase is still today the only non-surgical treatment for Peyronie’s disease curvature with results demonstrated by the long Florentine experience, first in Europe for the treatment of this pathology.
