Abstract
Two patients with refractory Peyronie's disease were treated by tunica vaginalis testis autografting following surgical excision of indurated tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa. One patient could achieve relief of pain and a straight erection of the penis 3 months after surgery. Another patient could not obtain a satisfactory erection during the follow-up of 6 months, but could have sexual intercourse after 7 months. A tunica vaginalis testis autograft might be an ideal substitute for tunica albuginea because it has several advantages: it causes no rejection at the recipient site; it is flexible enough to accommodate to expansion; there is no development of sebaceous glands and hair follicles that may occur in the use of a dermal graft; and it is easy to obtain.
