[Penis plication-plasty--an alternative to the treatment of penile deviation].
Congenital and acquired penile curvature are observed increasingly often. A new surgical technique (plicating procedure) was applied in 27 patients with penile deviation. All patients retained potency, and 96% were completely satisfied with the functional result of surgical correction. No severe complications were observed. Nesbit's technique of excising ellipses from the tunica albuginea to correct penile deviation should be discontinued as it involves greater surgical trauma. Since the functional and cosmetic results are equally good with the plicating procedure, we believe this is the operation of choice for the correction of penile curvature.
