Abstract
Penile curvature which can be acquired or combined with some congenital anomalies may cause trouble in sexual function or can affect the psychological status of the individual. Whatever the causes or the results are, this condition has been tried to be corrected for many years by many different techniques. Eighteen patients with penile curvature have been reviewed. Thirteen patients underwent Nesbit procedure, in 3 patients plication of the tunica albuginea was done and in 2 patients longitudinal incision and horizontal closure of the tunica albuginea were performed.
In all cases the results were both functionally and cosmetically satisfying. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed, with a review of the relevant literature.
