Penile corporeal disproportion: long-term results of surgical treatment.
Penile corporeal disproportion (PCD) is frequently confused with the more prevalent Peyronie's disease, with which it shares the characteristic feature of penile curvature on erection. The authors report on 13 patients with PCD, 9 of whom were treated surgically, using Nesbit's technique to correct the curvature. Results were good to excellent in 89%, with a mean long-term follow-up of 6 years. The diagnostic process is simple and accurate but requires participation by the patient. Surgical treatment is indicated when the penile curvature is so severe that it interferes with sexual intercourse.
