Persistent chordee after surgery can be corrected using a novel ventral midline incision and dorsal plicating sutures. This technique straightens the penis by rotating the corporeal bodies for improved erectile function.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Chordee, a congenital or acquired condition causing penile curvature, can persist even after surgical removal of fibrous tissue.
  • Persistent chordee significantly impacts sexual function and quality of life, necessitating effective treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a surgical technique for correcting persistent chordee that remains after evident fibrous tissue resection.
  • To present a method that achieves a straight erection by addressing residual penile curvature.

Main Methods:

  • A ventral midline incision is utilized to access the corporal bodies.
  • Transverse dorsal plicating sutures are employed to manipulate and realign the corporeal bodies.
  • The technique focuses on rotating the corporeal bodies to correct residual curvature.

Main Results:

  • The described technique effectively corrects persistent chordee.
  • Successful correction allows for a straight erection post-operatively.
  • This method addresses chordee not resolved by initial fibrous tissue resection.

Conclusions:

  • This surgical approach offers a viable solution for persistent chordee.
  • The ventral midline incision combined with dorsal plicating sutures provides a method for penile straightening.
  • The technique aims to improve erectile function and patient satisfaction in cases of residual chordee.
