Penile deviation management varies by cause and severity. Surgical and non-surgical options exist for congenital and acquired conditions like Peyronie

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Penile deviations, including congenital and acquired forms like Peyronie's disease, can significantly impact sexual function and quality of life.
  • The degree of curvature dictates the severity of functional impairment, ranging from cohabitation difficulties to complete impossibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical presentation and management strategies for patients with penile deviations.
  • To assess the outcomes of different surgical and non-surgical treatments for congenital and acquired penile curvature.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 53 patients with penile curvature (17 congenital, 36 acquired) underwent detailed anamnesis and clinical examination.
  • Diagnostic tools included autophotography, artificial erection (pharmacological or vacuum-assisted), and pharmacocavernosography for erectile dysfunction assessment.

  • Treatment modalities comprised the Nesbit procedure for congenital deviations, urethroplasty in specific cases, and superoxide dismutase for Peyronie's disease.

    • Main Results:

    • Surgical correction using the Nesbit procedure was performed for congenital penile deviations.
    • Twenty-eight patients with Peyronie's disease received superoxide dismutase; 7 required subsequent surgery.
    • Eight patients with severe penile deviation underwent primary surgical therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of penile deviation necessitates a differentiated approach based on etiology, curvature degree, patient discomfort, and erectile function.
    • Treatment strategies should be individualized to optimize functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.
