Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a fibrotic disease that is characterized by plaque accumulation in the tunica albuginea of the penis. Individuals with PD commonly report penile curvature, although other symptoms include hourglass deformities, penile length and girth loss, and erectile dysfunction. Current workflows use manual goniometry to assess angle curvature and disease severity. It remains a question how accurate manual measurements may be when erection quality may be influenced by a multitude of factors and inter-provider variability may exist in defining the point of maximum curvature. The study objectives were to identify which penile characteristics were most susceptible to variability between providers and to assess the use of 3D structured light scanning as a tool in the evaluation of this disease.
