Abstract

PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: The estimation of penile curvature is an essential component in the assessment of both Peyronie's disease and hypospadias-associated congenital penile curvature, as the degree of curvature can significantly impact treatment decision-making. However, there is a lack of standardization in curvature assessment and current methodologies are prone to inaccuracies. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in urology, new research has explored its applications in penile curvature assessment. This review aims to evaluate the current uses of AI and other automated platforms for assessing penile curvature.
