Curvature of the penis is a problem with which men quite often turn to plastic surgeons. Erectile deformity is a fairly serious male problem, as it affects many aspects of a man's life. Sexual life is disturbed, due to the occurrence of painful sensations during intercourse, sexual possibilities are limited. In addition, on the basis of erectile deformity, a man may experience complexes and mental disorders. That is why, the surgical correction of penile curvature is a simple and justified solution to the problem of erectile deformity.
Why penis curvature may occur
The curvature of the penis can be congenital, which is quite common, and acquired. The cause of congenital curvature of the penis is a violation of the proportions of the development of the cavernous bodies due to hypoplasia of one of them. Acquired erectile deformities often develop after trauma to the penis. Curvature of the penis always occurs only in a state of erection, due to the fact that the protein shell is stretched to a much lesser extent than it should normally. In this case, the curvature always occurs in the direction of the lesion. The most common ventral and lateral curvature of the penis.
Nesbit erectile deformity correction procedure
The first erectile deformity correction technique was described by Reed Nesbit in 1965. According to his method, first of all, an incision is made along the vein groove to the Buck fascia, after which the skeletonization of the penis is performed to its base. Then, the erection of the penis is stimulated by medication, and elliptical incisions are made in the albuginea from the side opposite to the curvature of the penis, which are then sutured. This technique is somewhat outdated today, as it leads to such consequences as shortening of the penis and the occurrence of repeated deformations due to damage to the albuginea directly.
Topical penile curvature surgery
Today, modifications of the Nesbit penile curvature technique are widely used. Most often, plastic surgeons choose this type of surgical intervention to correct erectile deformity, in which, instead of removing flaps of the albuginea, its duplication is created due to intussusception. In this case, the opening of the cavernous bodies does not occur. An important point of such an operation is the use of non-absorbable sutures for suturing, since, otherwise, there is a possibility of recurrence of the curvature of the penis. The most common complication of such an operation may be the appearance of granulomas in the suture area, which requires repeated surgical intervention in order to remove them.
Why you should not be afraid of penis shortening after surgery
Slight shortening of the penis occurs with any of the surgical techniques for correcting the curvature of the penis. It is important to inform the patient about this possible complication and focus on the fact that only the absolute length of the penis decreases, while its functional length, that is, that part of the penis that is directly involved in sexual intercourse, will only increase after surgery. Correction of penis curvature through surgery will help a man to improve both his sexual life and other aspects of his life, because it will certainly help eliminate complexes and add self-confidence.
