| Abstract | The approval of Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) by the FDA in the US in December of 2013 has significantly changed the management of Peyronie’s disease. Based on author’s experience in treating the disease for more than 25 years and giving more than 1,000 Xiaflex injections, a refined medical and surgical approach is proposed. (I) Detailed history and focused physical examination: should obtain the following critical information: duration of disease, symptoms (the tetrad of pain, deformity, plaque, and erectile dysfunction), prior treatment and outcome, emotional stress and expectations; (II) physical examination: thorough examination of the genitalia, hands and feet if history suggests. The number, size, consistency, and location of plaques, local tenderness should be documented; (III) assessment: evaluate and document penile deformity and erectile function- by patient’s own erection photos, erection in clinic by manual stimulation, as well as oral or injection of vasoactive agent. A high-resolution penile ultrasound is a valuable tool in identification of septal fibrosis, calcification, and intracavernous fibrosis; (IV) discussion of therapies at first visit: we recommend pentoxifylline for 3 to 6 months in men with the following: recent onset (a few months), calcifications, pain, and tenderness. The goal is to stop progression of deformity and calcification and give the patient some time to understand the more effective but more invasive therapies; (V) discussion of more invasive therapies: pentoxifylline + vacuum device or penile stretching device; collagenase (Xiaflex) injection + modeling, plication surgery, extratunical grafting surgery, tunica-sparing excision of ossified plaque, penile prosthesis. More detailed discussion and clinical examples will be presented at the meeting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
