This paper shows that the conventional 2 cm margin of resection is not necessary for oncological control. In 51 patients, 48% had margins of less than 1 cm and 90% less than 2 cm. Only two local recurrences were found only in the high-grade tumours.

This study demonstrates how magnetic resonance imaging can aid in the management of penile trauma by helping to decide who needs surgery and where to plan the incision.

This paper looks at the indications and types of surgical operations for Peyronie's disease. There is a critical analysis of all of the Nesbit-type operations as well as the grafting techniques. The indications for a penile prosthesis insertion and the modelling technique are described.

A small series of patients having human fascia lata were used as a graft substitute for Peyronie's disease. The results were comparable to vein and the authors advocate its use because of the availability of the synthetic material.
