The Nesbit and Plication Procedures for Peyronie’s Disease

  • Chapter
Peyronie’S Disease

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Urology ((CCU))

Abstract

The Nesbit operation, first used for Peyronie’s disease in 1977, is still the most common operation performed to correct a penile curvature. Whereas there have been various modifications of the original technique over the years, the basic principle of shortening the tunica on the contralateral side to the plaque is applied. The operations are simple to perform, and the results are consistently excellent. This chapter describes the original technique and offers a comparison both with the modifications and with the alternative of grafting.
