Now Playing:The Krishnamurti Operation for Peyronies Disease (7 of 7)
Description: Step 7 Closure of defect in tunica albuginea with the penile dermal
flap The Krishnamurti penile dermal flap operation, described by Dr.
Sudhakar Krishnamurti (www.sudhakarkrishnamurti.com) employs a local
penile FLAP rather than a free graft to close the defect in the
tunica albuginea consequent upon plaque incision in Peyronies
disease. FLAPS, as opposed to grafts, do not contract. This
technique thus has many advantages over existing techniques (very
low contracture and impotence rates), and gives very good results.
It can be employed in both uncircumcised and circumcised patients.
