Lithotripsy, extracorporeal shockwave

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy has been generally disappointing and a recent, novel approach to perform a placebo-controlled trial demonstrated possible improvement in pain, but no improvement in penile curvature (Hatzichristodoulou et al. 2006). Radiation has also been disappointing and also may compromise erectile function (Incrocci et al. 2000). Contemporary evidence does not support either of these two approaches for treatment of Peyronie s disease.
