title: Corporeal penile plication for correction of erectile penile deformity.
abstract: Penile curvature causing functional impairment of sexual intercourse is uncommon but a number of patients are significantly inconvenienced by this condition. Seven patients who had marked erectile deviation were treated with surgical plication for their penile deformity. Mean follow-up was 16 months (range 3-48 months) and no postoperative complications were encountered. In six cases the penis has remained straight. In one patient recurrence of deformity occurred 12 months after corporeal plication. The simplicity of the corporeal plication technique with the low incidence of associated complications makes it an attractive surgical alternative for the treatment of penile erectile deformity.
