Nevertheless, there is no published data on the surgical treatment of PD in older men.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>Considering the aging national and international population, we sought to evaluate the pre-operative characteristics and surgical outcomes of men aged 65 or older who underwent surgical treatment for PD at our tertiary care institution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all men 65 years or older who underwent surgery for PD\u00a0from January 2010 to September 2017. We compared men who underwent penile prosthesis implantation with straightening maneuvers (PP+SMs), tunica albuginea plication (TAP), and plaque partial excision with grafting (PEG).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main Outcome Measure<\/jats:title><jats:p>The main objective of this study was to find the baseline pre-operative patient characteristics and postoperative patient-reported outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 86 men with a median age of 68 years underwent surgery during the study period. 39 men underwent PP+SM (45%), 25 men a TAP (29%), and 22 men a PEG (26%). The mean curvature for all men was 59.9 \u00b1 22.0\u00b0 (range 0\u2212105\u00b0). Those who underwent a PEG had a mean \u00b1 SD degree of curvature of 78.6 \u00b1 16.6\u00b0, significantly higher than those who underwent PP+SM or TAP (49.1 \u00b1 20.2\u00b0 and 61.4 \u00b1 17.4\u00b0, respectively; P &amp;lt; .001). Moreover, men who underwent a PEG had significantly more complex penile deformities (eg, narrowing with hinge effect) and better reported baseline erectile function compared with men who underwent PP+SM or TAP. Overall, 95% of all men reported having a functionally straight penis postoperatively with 94% engaging in penetrative intercourse at last follow-up. Overall, patient-reported satisfaction was 85% with a median follow-up of 43.5 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that the surgical treatment of PD in older men is safe, effective, and associated with high patient satisfaction.
