Abstract

Introduction. Peyronie's disease is an acquired malformation of the penis, caused by the deposition of fibrotic plaques in the tunica albuginea. The prevalence in the United States ranges between 0.39% and 11.8%, in Europe 8.9%, in Latin America there is no specific percentage of current prevalence due to the scarcity of reports of this pathology. This bibliometric analysis seeks to describe the therapeutic evolution of Peyronie's Disease in the literature over the last 62 years, as well as the geographic distribution of these publications. Methodology. This is an observational, descriptive study, with a bibliometric analysis from 1957 to 2019, using GoPubMed and FABUMED. Results. 721 references on surgical treatment in Peyronie's disease were obtained, with an increase in scientific production throughout the study period. The Journal of Urology was the journal with the highest number of publications, 57.9% within the scientific article category. The leading country was the United States with 191 publications. Discussion. There is a limited amount of literature on therapeutic advances for the treatment of Peyronie's disease, which makes it difficult to compare research over the years in different areas of the world. Research in Latin America is scarce. Conclusion. Research on surgical treatment in Peyronie's disease shows an increasing pattern in scientific productivity over the years. Countries with higher economic income have greater development in the subject and to a lesser extent regions with limited resources. The analysis shows the importance of increasing scientific production  in Colombia, as well as stimulating research on this topic, since there are few publications on the evolution of surgical treatment for this disease.
