Abstract

Penile traction has been adapted from use in other specialties like orthopedics and plastic surgery as a tool to increase or regain penile length. Small studies on the use of traction in Peyronie’s patients have shown modest improvements in curvature and stretched flaccid length. Changes in stretched flaccid penile length have been reported to range from 0.5 to 2 cm.
