Reconstructive surgery

Peyronie's disease & curvature correction

Peyronie's disease causes scar tissue (plaque) that can lead to curvature, pain and difficulty with intercourse. Curvature can also be congenital. After assessment, specialists may recommend plication, plaque incision with grafting, or, where erectile dysfunction is also present, correction combined with an implant.

Common questions

When is surgery recommended for Peyronie's disease?
Surgery is usually considered once the disease has stabilised, meaning no change in curvature or pain for several months. Your specialist will confirm the right timing.
Will surgery affect sensation or length?
Techniques are chosen to protect the nerves responsible for sensation. Some techniques can affect length. Your surgeon will explain the trade-offs of each option for your specific curve.
