“…Delay in the diagnosis and treatment of CPC might have a negative effect on the psychosexual development, self esteem and quality of life of the child (Tal et al., 2010). It is advised that penile anomalies like hypospadias surgery should be corrected at an early age (6–12 months) before sexual awareness begins (Marrocco et al., 1995). The EAU Male Sexual Dysfunction guidelines recommend post‐pubertal surgical treatment, but the Paediatric Urology guidelines do not specify anything about the timing of surgery for CPC (Curvature, 2016; Radmayr et al., 2019).…”

We retrospectively reviewed and compared the results of corporal plication procedures for the correction of congenital penile curvature (CPC) between pre‐pubertal and post‐pubertal boys and find whether age matters in the success rates. We reviewed the records of 32 patients with CPC without hypospadias treated by simple plication near the 12 o'clock position between 1998 and 2018 in our clinic. Patients under 13 years of age and not had puberty yet were accepted as pre‐pubertal. Residual curvature less than 10° during follow‐up was accepted as a surgical success. The mean age of the pre‐pubertal group was 8.3 (2–12) years, while 16.2 (14–21) for the post‐pubertal patients. The mean follow‐up was 38.7 (24–154) months in the pre‐pubertal group and 45.1 (23–150) months in the post‐pubertal group. The success rates of corporal plication in pre‐pubertal and post‐pubertal groups were 78% and 83% respectively (p = .753). The success rates of corporal plication were similar between pre‐pubertal and post‐pubertal boys. However, as the series was small further studies should be favoured to determine the effect of age on success rates.

“…The delay in the diagnosis of CPC has negative consequences on psychosocial development and quality of life ( 10 ). As a result, it is recommended to correct penile abnormalities at an early age (6-12 months) before sexual awareness begins ( 11 ). In our daily practice, patients/parents request surgery for CPC at school age, concomitantly with circumcision.…”

An unanswered question in pediatric urology: the post pubertal persistence of prepubertal congenital penile curvature correction by tunical plication

Objective:The aim of this study is to analyze post pubertal results of pre pubertal tunica albuginea plication with non-absorbable sutures in the correction of CPC.Materials and Methods:The files of patients who underwent tunica albuginea plication without incision (dorsal/lateral) were retrospectively reviewed. Patients younger than 13 years of age at the time of operation and older than 14 years of age in November 2015 were included. Patients with a penile curvature of less than 30 degrees & more than 45 degrees and penile/urethral anomalies were excluded. All of the patients underwent surgery followed by circumcision.Results:The mean age of patients at the time of the operation was 9.7 years (range, 6-13 years). The mean degree of ventral penile curvature measured during the operation was 39 degrees while it was 41 degrees in the lateral curvatures. All of the patients were curvature-free at the end of the operation. At the time of the follow-up examination, the mean age was 16.7 years (range, 14-25 years). Six patients had a straight (0-10 degrees) penis during erection and seven patients had recurrent penile curvatures ranging from 30 to 50 degrees.Conclusion:Pre pubertal tunica albuginea plication of congenital penile curvature (30-45 degrees) with non-absorbable sutures performed without incision is a minimal invasive method especially when performed during circumcision. However, recurrence might be observed in half of the patients after puberty.
