[The surgical treatment of erection disorders caused by penile curvature]

The authors report their experience of the surgical management of penis curvature in 26 patients. Eight patients had a congenital curvature due to an asymmetry of the corpus cavernosa and 18 patients had a secondary curvature (La Peyronie's disease : 17, traumatism : 1). The Nesbit procedure alone produces usual excellent results (84.6%). In Peyronie's disease with distal non-erection, a cavernous body prosthesis is recommended.
