Peyronie's disease is a pathological condition of the penis which is characterized by localized ossification of the tunica albuginea.

We treated 37 patients with severe congenital or acquired penile curvature with a modified Essed-Schroeder corporoplasty without excision of the tunica albuginea.

Penile tissue (consisting of corpus cavernosum and tunica albuginea) was obtained from 19 patients undergoing surgery for the implantation of penile prostheses.
