What Is Peyronie’s Disease Surgery?
Peyronie’s disease surgery is a corrective procedure performed to treat penile curvature caused by fibrous scar tissue (plaques) inside the penis.
This scar tissue prevents the penis from stretching evenly during an erection, leading to curvature, pain, erectile dysfunction, or difficulty during sexual intercourse.
Surgery aims to straighten the penis, restore sexual function, and eliminate discomfort.
Why Is Peyronie’s Disease Surgery Needed?
Surgery is recommended when:
- Penile curvature is severe or progressing
- Curvature prevents satisfactory sexual intercourse
- Non-surgical treatments (oral meds, injections, traction) fail
- Pain persists during erection
- Erectile dysfunction is present due to plaque formation
- The condition has been stable for 6–12 months
Surgery offers the most reliable and permanent correction for Peyronie’s curvature.
Types of Peyronie’s Disease Surgery
At Büyük Anadolu Hospital, our andrology surgeons perform:
Plication Surgery (Nesbit / Modified Plication)
- Straightens the penis by placing sutures on the opposite side of the curve
- Effective for moderate curvature
- Minimal recovery time
Plaque Incision / Excision + Grafting
- Used for severe curvature or complex deformities
- Scar tissue is released or partially removed
- A graft is placed to restore uniform length
Penile Prosthesis + Straightening
- For patients who have Peyronie’s disease with erectile dysfunction
- Combines curvature correction with prosthesis implantation
- Offers excellent long-term outcomes
How Is Peyronie’s Disease Surgery Performed?
- Performed under general or spinal anesthesia
- Duration: 1–2 hours depending on technique
- Small incisions made on the penile shaft
- Plaques are corrected, removed, or grafted
- No major scarring; cosmetic results are prioritized
- Same-day discharge or 1-night stay
