• Advances in the field of diagnosis, management and therapy are highlighted in this review of Peyronies's disease. Much research is presently ongoing looking for etiologic agent to this process described more than 250 years ago. Use of new surgical techniques such as venous patch combined with less aggressive plaque management appear to be gaining favor among many leading urologists. A practical, algorithmic approach to the diagnosis and management is presented.
