Summary

Surgical correction of penile curvature due to Peyronie's disease was done using the Nesbit operation originally described for repair of congenital curvatures. A modification of the technique was introduced using a skin incision over the local area where the ellipse was taken thereby avoiding unnecessary extended dissection. The results in 22 patients were satisfactory with minimal surgical complications. Good results, short-term hospitalization and simplicity of the technique make this approach the first to be considered in cases of surgical correction of Peyronie's disease.
