The choice between the Egydio Technique vs. alternative treatments for Peyronie’s disease should be based on medical guidance for each individual case. Learn when every option makes sense.
When facing Peyronie’s disease, it’s natural to wonder which path to follow—especially when comparing the Egydio Technique vs. alternative treatments for Peyronie’s disease. After all, there are several effective ways to manage this condition.
The Egydio Technique is a penile reconstruction surgery, whereas other approaches range from medication to external devices that may help in selected cases. Below, discover how the Egydio Technique and alternative treatments differ so you can make informed decisions about your sexual health.
What is Peyronie’s disease and why does it affect so many men?
Peyronie’s disease reduces the elasticity of the tunica albuginea, causing an abnormal curvature during erection. It affects about 10 % of men, according to medical literature.
The curvature results from a penile fibrosis—i.e., a rigid plaque that forms on the corpora cavernosa (the tissue that expands during erection)—preventing symmetrical expansion.
Besides curvature, there may be loss of length and thinning. Many men also experience pain and erectile dysfunction, making intercourse difficult or impossible.
Which treatments for Peyronie’s disease are available today?
Treatment varies by disease phase and symptom severity.
In the acute phase—when curvature is still forming and painful—medications aimed at stabilising progression may be tried, but reversal is rare.
Once curvature has stabilised or hinders intercourse, surgery becomes the mainstay. Techniques include plicature (Nesbit), incision-and-graft and the Egydio Technique.
Complementary therapies—traction, shockwave, vacuum pumps and physiotherapy—can be used at any time under medical advice to slow deformity progression.
What is the Egydio Technique and how does it work in practice?
The Egydio Technique is an internationally established reconstructive option for Peyronie’s disease.
Introduced in the early 2000s, it corrects penile deformities while preserving dimensions and restoring erectile function.
Small, geometry-based incisions expand tissue length and width. Beyond straightening, the procedure reclaims lost size while protecting nerves.
Because severe cases often involve erectile dysfunction, reconstruction prepares the penis for a prosthesis that maintains rigidity. The implant is placed in the same procedure and sized for the new dimensions.
Egydio Technique vs. alternative treatments for Peyronie’s disease: key differences
While surgery seeks to restore the penis, non-surgical options mainly stabilise the problem.
So far, clinical and complementary methods show limited efficacy once curvature is established; they are usually adjuvant or early-phase measures.
Available drugs such as Colchicine and Vitamin E do not reverse curvature, nor do physiotherapy, vacuum pumps, traction or shockwave devices—they may only prevent worsening.
Some therapies (e.g. Xiaflex) are unavailable locally, and others still lack robust evidence.
No single alternative treatment alone can address erectile dysfunction. In advanced Peyronie’s, loss of rigidity is common.
Conversely, the Egydio Technique offers personalised restoration, maximising original penile characteristics and erection quality, while the prosthesis helps prevent new micro-traumas.
When is the Egydio Technique indicated and what results are expected?
It is recommended for severe curvatures (usually > 30°) and cases with associated erectile dysfunction—i.e., when sexual life is compromised.
Based on clinical follow-up, many patients report:
- Correction of curvature
- Recovery of length lost during disease progression
- Marked improvement in rigidity and erectile quality
- Enhanced sexual satisfaction
- Improved penile aesthetics
- Greater self-confidence and self-esteem
Overall, there is a high satisfaction rate, and recurrence is low when post-operative care is followed.
Why is Dr Paulo Egydio’s experience relevant to this surgery?
Dr Egydio refined procedures targeting the short side of the penis in Peyronie’s correction. By applying geometric principles, he defined the number, size and orientation of incisions to optimise penile dimensions, allowing not only alignment but also insertion of a larger prosthesis.
Dr Egydio has contributed extensively to scientific publications and international discussions on reconstructive surgery for Peyronie’s disease, being cited in nearly 500 peer-reviewed articles.
How do I choose the best treatment for my Peyronie’s case?
There is no single “best” treatment—only the most suitable option for your condition. Decisions depend on curvature type, disease stage, erectile function and comorbidities such as diabetes or cardiovascular issues.
A urologist must assess the case in detail, using tests such as erectile induction and Doppler ultrasound to recommend the right therapy. Surgery is not always necessary; if curvature does not impair sexual health, periodic monitoring may suffice.
