title: [Surgical treatment of the congenital curvature of the penis by the Nesbit technique].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the results of the Nesbit technique in patients with congenital penile curvature.
  
  
  METHODS
  From January 1990 to July 2002, 19 patients with congenital penile curvature were treated following the Nesbit technique. Mean age was 25.89 (range 19-37), and the most common curvature was ventral (73.68%).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Complete correction was achieved in 18 patients (94.73%), and 17 patients reported a high degree of satisfaction (89.47%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Nesbit technique is an easy and safe procedure for the correction of congenital penile incurvation.
