title: Correction of the penile curvature, which technique?
abstract: During the last four years we have operated 12 patients with penile curvature (10 with congenital and 2 with Peyronie's disease). We applied three modifications of the basic Nesbit's corporoplasty trying to compare them. In conclusion, all techniques give satisfactory result, but, Kelămi's modification (7 cases) gives better cosmetic result and is preferred in lateral curvatures. Yachia's modification (5 cases) is safer when someone must work too close to the neurovascular band or to the corpus spongiosum (pure dorsal or ventral curvature); Essed-Schroeder's modification (1 case reoperated) is simpler, but, not too safe to stand a strong erection.
