Abstract
Penile plication procedure was performed on 27 patients (median age 24 [21-35] years) to correct marked penile deviation (mean deviation angle 50 [30-90].degree.). On average 4 (2-10) sutures were necessary. Normal intercourse and potency was restored in all. 26 patients were fully satisfied with the result, while in three there were suture problems (fistula, granuloma). There was one recurrence, three weeks postoperatively, in a patient who failed to follow the recommended six-week period of sexual abstinence. But this recurrence was lastingly corrected by a second penile plication procedure. No lasting complications were noted a mean of 48 [6-96] months postoperatively. This type of operation is the treatment of choice for significant penile curvature.
