Clinical and penile Doppler outcomes using a modified, tourniquet free, Nesbit plication for severe Peyronie's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Penile curvature (PC) can be surgically corrected by plication techniques or Nesbit corporoplasty. These shortening techniques can be complicated by post-operative: penile shortening, recurrent PC, palpable suture knots and erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, Nesbit procedures require the use of a penile tourniquet to avoid intraoperative bleeding. This observational study aims to assess the results of Nesbit modified corporoplasty, avoiding intraoperative use of tourniquet without risk of bleeding. The objective is to reduce penile ischemic anatomical and functional damages such as long-term erectile dysfunction.

Methods

Between January 2010 and March 2019, a total of 64 patients with congenital penile curvature (CPC) and Peyronie's disease (PD) underwent surgical
