Introduction:? Conditions that cause curvature of the erect penis also lead to difficulties with intercourse. The present study presents an effective surgical treatment for congenital penile curvature.Methods:? Between March 1996 and August 2004, 49 patients were diagnosed with congenital penile curvature at the Toho University Omori Hospital Reproduction Center, Tokyo. Of these, 27 eligible patients underwent surgical treatment. The operative technique used involved the tunica albuginea being exposed and a number of vertical incisions were made through its superficial layers. The superficial layer of the tunica albuginea was then resected using scissors. Inverted plication sutures were then placed in the raw surface of the corpus cavernosum using 2?0 nylon. In addition, 2?0 polyglactic acid (Vicryl) sutures were placed on either side of each nylon suture knot.Results:? Of a total of 49 patients, 27 eligible patients underwent surgical treatment with no serious postoperative complications. All 27 patients were able to sustain intercourse. There were no new cases of erectile dysfunction, penile pain or penile shortening. There were no recurrences of penile curvature.Conclusions:? This new partial thickness shaving, inverted sutures reinforced with dissolving sutures plication method is an extremely effective surgical treatment for congenital penile curvature, with a superior safety profile.
