Commentary on: Safety and feasibility of percutaneous needle tunneling with platelet-rich plasma injections for Peyronie’s disease in the outpatient setting: a pilot study
International Journal of Impotence Research(2024)
摘要
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the combined simultaneous percutaneous needle tunneling coupled with injection of platelet-rich plasma in the outpatient department for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. This prospective, non-randomized, cohort and preliminary study included patients who underwent this procedure from November 2020 to July 2022. The main outcome was an improvement in penile curvature. Fifty-four patients were enrolled and underwent 6 sessions under local anesthesia followed by vacuum therapy for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease in our outpatient unit. The amendment of the curvature angle was significant with a median correction percentage of −44.40% interquartile range (−66.70 to (−39.70)), [ p -value = 0.001, 95% CI (−29.76 to (−18.02)), paired Student’s t -test]. The median pre-treatment curvature angle was 45° (40–75), and the median post-treatment was 30° (20–40). The median score for pain during the procedure was 3 (0–4.25) according to a 10-point visual analogic scale. After two hours, 20.37% of patients still had pain but none required any pain medication. 50% of patients had a minor hematoma and 75.93% patients reported penile ecchymosis. A single patient reported an injection site skin infection. In our experience percutaneous needle tunneling with platelet-rich plasma injections for Peyronie’s disease in the outpatient setting is a safe, effective, and feasible treatment of penile deformity for PD.
