How is penile curvature surgery performed?

The penis is the most important part of men's reproductive organs and one of the tools for men to enjoy the pleasure of sexual life. For men, the penis is one of the fundamental characteristics of being a man. Therefore, many men are very concerned about the health of the penis, because the health of the penis has a great impact on the above functions, especially when the penis is short or has a large curvature, it will make men appear very embarrassed in their sexual life. The best way to treat penile curvature is generally surgical treatment, but many people don’t know much about the surgical method. Let’s take a look at the explanation of how to perform the surgery for penile curvature treatment.

Surgical method

The foreskin is pulled back and drugs that make the penis erect are injected or a sufficient amount of saline is infused to observe the erect and bent penis. The excess tunica cavernosa is then creased and the tension caused by tightening it with non-absorbable sutures is used to gradually correct the bending angle of the penis. In this way, several consecutive creases can completely straighten the entire penis. For most patients, their erect penis cannot lift their head and chest or be parallel to the ground before surgery. This is completely changed after surgery. The fully erect penis can exceed the parallel line of the ground and even reach the abdomen. This allows the patient to observe whether the correction is satisfactory on the operating table.

Surgical results

The correction of the crease of the curvature of the penis only requires local anesthesia, and there is no damage to the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Except for the strong pulling force and pain felt during erection in the first few days after the operation, the patient will not suffer any damage to the function of the penis. The whole operation process is similar to that of a general circumcision operation. Some patients will have mild hematoma or the erection will last a little longer due to the injection of drugs, but they will all return to normal.

at last:

If the penis is severely curved and affects sexual life, you should go to the urology department of the hospital for examination and treatment in time, usually through surgery. This problem can be solved satisfactorily. Especially for the two cases of painful penile erection or short suspensory ligament, it is necessary to carefully examine the position of the suspensory ligament of the penis, the degree of fibrosis or ossification of the tunica albuginea of ​​the corpus cavernosum, and other possible abnormalities, and then provide targeted treatment, which may resolve the symptoms.
