Congenital Curvature of the Penis: Successful Results with Variations in Corporoplasty

Plication corporoplasty versus Nesbit operation for the correction of congenital penile curvature. A long-term follow-up

“…The Nesbit [6] technique was one of the first proposed, among those based on the shortening of the convex side, and it consists in removing areas of the tunica albuginea in order to achieve the shortening. Later, the Saalfeld-Yachia technique [9,10] was introduced, based on a longitudinal incision with transversal suture of the tunica albuginea. More recently, Giammuso et al [26] and Rolle et al [27] introduced some interesting modifications, the first of which consists in the excision of the dorsal vein of the penis and the execution of the unbending plastic in the area of resection.…”

The Nesbit‐Kelâmi Procedure for Congenital Curvature of the Erect Penis

“…Nesbit (1965) first described the removal of ellipses of tunica albuginea for the correction of congenital penile curvature. Since that time the effectiveness of this operation has been substantiated by numerous authors (Correa, 1971;Saalfeld et al, 1973;Gavrell, 1974;Pond and Brannan, 1974;Redmanetal., 1975;Udall, 1980). Between 1976 and 1986, Keliimi operated on 125 patients with congenital penile deviation.…”

Plication procedures—excisional and incisional corporoplasty and imbrication for Peyronie’s disease

“…In a 1973 Journal of Urology article, Saalfeld et al reported modifications in corporoplasty for congenital ventral curvature of the penis from an operation in one patient consisting of a vertical incision opposite the plaque with a horizontal closure, essentially a Heineke-Mikulicz repair ( 3 ). Yachia reported in 1990 on his particular modification of the Heineke-Mikulicz repair in penile deformity surgery in ten patients ( 4 ) ( Figure 1 ).…”
