PURPOSE: We evaluated the long-term outcome, effectiveness and @entity1 satisfaction of corporeal plication for the correction of @entity546 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 25 @entity1 with @entity546 were included in the study. Mean age was 39 years (range 15 to 45). @entity1 with @entity545 , and/or chordee associated with @entity2650 or evidence of @entity323 were excluded from analysis. All procedures were done on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. The technique of corporeal plication consists of placing longitudinal plication sutures of 2-zero braided @entity2635 on the opposing side of curvature until it is corrected during artificially induced erection. A standardized questionnaire was then completed via telephone interview to assess results as well as the @entity1 satisfaction rate. RESULTS: A total of 22 @entity1 were available for evaluation. Successful results at up to 3(1/2) years (range 1 to 42 months, mean 18) of followup were achieved in 21 of the 22 @entity1 (95%). Success was defined as the correction of curvature and a @entity1 satisfaction rate of 75% or greater. Curvature was ventral in 20 cases, dorsal in 2 and left lateral in 3. Shortening of the penis after surgery was noted by 4 @entity1 (18%), of whom 3 nevertheless had a satisfaction rate of 75% or greater. In 2 @entity1 postoperative @entity1410 resolved spontaneously. Mean operative time was 50 minutes and 22 of the 25 @entity1 (88%) received local anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: Corporeal plication is a simple, minimally invasive surgical procedure that proved to be effective for congenital curvature of the penis compared with other, more extensive penile reconstruction surgery.
