Surgical outcome of congenital penile curvature treatment with corporal rotation technique
Main Article Content
Abstract
Congenital penile curvature (CPC) is a rare condition in men but has considerable impact on male sexual activity as well as their mental health. Many techniques had been proposed to manage this condition, however the corporal rotation technique had the advantage of preserving the penile length. Therefore, we conducted a study on 16 men with CPC who were treated with corporal rotation surgery to evaluate the outcome of this technique. The results showed that the mean degree of curvature was 51 ± 12.2 degree. The majority of patients had a moderate penile curvature (< 60 degree) and ventral curvature (75%). After the surgery, the residual curvature decreased significantly (from 51 ± 12.2 degree to 16.6 ± 6.34 degree with p < 0.001). We observed no remarkable changes in all penile dimensions including stretched penile length (13.6 ± 0.93cm before the surgery compared with 13.3 ± 0.89cm after the surgery with p = 0.01). Erectile function of the subjects was also significantly improved especially in the intercourse satisfaction domain.
