Congenital penile curvature without hypospadias. 1980

A H Bennett, and R F Gittes

Congenital curvature of the penile shaft without hypospadias is a rare problem that poses cosmetic and functional disability. It is caused by disparate growth of the penile corpora. Surgical repair of 7 cases is reviewed, with follow-up of two to eight years. The results of these 7 cases are added to 13 other cases reported previously. The Nesbit technique was used with the modification of (1) preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle to avoid anesthesia and lymphedema of the glans in selected cases, and (2) intraoperative use of saline-induced erections and Allis clamp " tucks" of the tunica albuginea to insure a satisfactory repair.
