1. A device for treatment of the Peyronie's disease of a penis, the device comprising:
a shock wave generator firmly connected to a supporting rigid navigation frame, wherein the navigation frame is moveably supported in three mutually orthogonal directions and in three rotations in three mutually perpendicular planes to ensure the localization of the highest shock wave energy level of a shock wave generated by the shock wave generator in a second focal point of the shock wave generator which is identical to the position of a center of a plaque in the subcutaneous tissue of a penis to be treated; and
a hollow cylindrical body for receiving a penis to be treated, wherein the hollow cylindrical body comprises an inner and an outer wall which define a space,
wherein the hollow cylindrical body is formed by a tube having a hollow wall,
wherein the hollow cylindrical body is placed in a bed of a fixed base plate for precision positioning of the penis to be treated with respect to the center of a plaque in its subcutaneous tissue,
wherein adjacent to the hollow cylindrical body is a face of the shock wave, and
wherein the space between the inner and outer walls of the cylindrical body is filled with degassed water with a temperature close to the patient's temperature.
