Correction of congenital or acquired penile curvature through a simple corporoplication technique.
Sexual dysfunction resulting from penile deformity is amenable to surgical correction. Thirty-five cases of penile deformity either 29 congenital or six secondary to Peyronie's disease were treated by simple plication of the tunica albuginea with non-absorbable sutures through a small skin incision made on the convex side of the curved penis. Postoperative complications such as impaired erection or loss of sensitivity of the glans were not reported. After an average follow-up of 36 months (range 12-60 months) all patients have straight erections and retain normal erectile function.
