title: [Penis deviation correction using Schröder's method and patients' postoperative quality of life].
abstract: Most frequent methods of penis deviation operative treatment are penis corporoplastics after Schröder and Nesbit. The penis corporoplastics can be followed by early complications (bleeding from the penis, recrudescent deviation due to suture cut-out, reduced or extinct sensitivity of the penis head as a result of n. dorsalis penis injury, etc.) or tardy ones (scarring phymosis, recrudescent deviation due to the scar, etc.). The objective of the study is to assess the quality of the patients' life after the operation (penis corporoplastics after Schröder) and any possible post-operative complications. The medical documentation of twelve patients, who were operated in the aforesaid manner at Kaunas 2(nd) Clinical Hospital and Kaunas Clinics of General Medical Practice in 1994-2001, was checked. Before the operation all the patients had penis deviation diagnosed (two ventral, two lateral and five mixed) resulting from congenital penis curvature. The indication for the operation of all the patients was aggravated intercourse. None of the patients showed early post-operative complications. When the patients were checked 6 months and 1 year later there were no tardy post-operative complications, either. All the patients were satisfied with the quality of life after the operation - there was no deviation, the erection and intercourse were normal. Penis corporoplastics after Schröder is a proper method to be used for correction of inherent penis deviations.
