A moderate curvature without functional impairment does not require intervention."},{"question":"What does the operation consist of?","answer":"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."},{"question":"What are the post-operative effects?","answer":"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."},{"question":"Does the operation cause a loss of length?","answer":"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."}],"benarroche_sidebar_rdv_title":"","benarroche_doctor_band_title":"","benarroche_doctor_band_text":"","benarroche_doctor_band_points":null,"benarroche_doctor_band_image":"","benarroche_page_cta_title":"","benarroche_page_cta_text":"","benarroche_closing_highlights":null,"benarroche_blocks":[{"acf_fc_layout":"image_text_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Penile curvature surgery","content":"Penile curvature can be <strong>congenital<\/strong> (present from adolescence) or <strong>acquired<\/strong> (secondary to Peyronie's disease).
