Correction of adult penile curvature with a Nesbit operation.

Nesbit's technique of excising ellipses of tunica albuginea has been effective in correcting chordee in children. We have used this technique successfully in adults for the correction of 19 congenital and traumatic curvatures, as well as those resulting from stable Peyronie's disease. All patients retained potency and reported excellent correction of the deformities. We believe that Nesbit's operation is the procedure of choice for the correction of disabling adult penile curvature.
