[Modified Nesbit's operation in the treatment of incurvations of the penis. Apropos of 26 cases].

Distortion of the penis can be an obstacle to normal sexual intercourse and can lead to psychological problems. Nesbit first described an operation for the correction of three cases of congenital incurvation of the penis. Several authors later proposed modifications of the original procedure, but the principle technique relies on folding the corpus cavernosum on the side opposite the deviation. We have treated 26 cases with distorted penis: 14 congenital, 3 postsurgical, 1 post-trauma and 8 due to la Peyronie's disease. Our functional results have been excellent. The risk of postoperative retraction is considerably reduced when the fold is created without removing the albugin patches. The quality of the results is directly related to rigorous patient selection.
