Penile curvature surgery

Penile curvature can be congenital (present from adolescence) or acquired (secondary to Peyronie’s disease). When should surgery be considered? Surgery may be fully justified when the curvature causes significant functional discomfort during intercourse, difficulty with penetration , or a negative impact on body image or self-confidence . In these situations, surgery provides a lasting correction and a high satisfaction rate , with a noticeable improvement in sexual quality of life .

Congenital curvatures

  • Stable curvature over time (generally ventral).
  • No pain.
  • Sometimes functional discomfort during intercourse, or aesthetic discomfort.
  • Small stitches on the side opposite the curvature to straighten the penis.
  • Reliable intervention, stable results over time.
  • High satisfaction rate (> 90%).
  • Shortening of 1 to 2 cm is possible but generally well tolerated.

Acquired curvatures: Peyronie's disease

Acquired curvatures: Peyronie's disease

Origin: Peyronie’s disease is linked to the formation of a fibrous plaque on the tunica albuginea, leading to: progressive curvature of the penis, sometimes painful erections, and decreased rigidity in some cases. Surgery is only considered when the disease has been stable for several months .

Peyronie's disease: Surgical techniques

  • Penis kinking
  • Plaque incision/excision with grafting
  • Penile prosthesis implantation

Penis curvature

  • Procedure performed under general anesthesia
  • Hospitalization is usually short (often outpatient or 1 night).
  • A gradual resumption of sexual relations after approximately 6 weeks.
  • In the vast majority of cases, penile curvature surgeries give satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.
  • The choice of technique depends on the type of curvature, its severity, the initial length of the penis and the quality of the erection.
  • Specialized follow-up is essential to support recovery and prevent relapses.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

When is it necessary to perform penile curvature surgery?

Surgery is indicated when the curvature hinders or prevents penetration, whether it is congenital or secondary to Peyronie’s disease that has been stable for at least 6 months. A moderate curvature without functional impairment does not require intervention.

What does the operation consist of?

The most common technique is plication of the corpora cavernosa (Nesbit or derivatives): the convex side is shortened to straighten the penis. For severe curvatures, a plate incision with grafting may be preferred to preserve length.

What are the post-operative effects?

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis or with an overnight hospital stay. Erections are painful for the first few weeks, and intercourse can be resumed after six weeks. Complete or near-complete recovery is achieved in over 90% of cases.

Does the operation cause a loss of length?

The plication results in a moderate shortening, on the order of 1 to 2 cm on the longer side, which is generally well accepted. Grafting techniques limit this loss but carry a higher risk of erectile dysfunction: the choice is discussed on a case-by-case basis.
