An underlying cause is loss of cavernous nerve (CN) innervation, which initiates remodeling of the corpora cavernosa of the penis, including smooth muscle apoptosis and increased collagen. There are few studies of penile remodeling in patients because of difficulty acquiring patient corpora cavernosa tissue, and appropriate controls; however, it is critical to ensure that our animal models adequately parallel patient conditions.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>Penile morphology was examined in corpora cavernosa of reconstruction and Lapeyronie's patients, to determine if reconstruction corpora cavernosa may be useful as controls for morphological analysis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Penis tissue was obtained from penectomy surgery within the context of genital reconstruction (n = 25) and corpora cavernosa tissue from Lapeyronie's (control, n = 10) patients undergoing prosthesis implantation surgery.
