Congenital dorsal curvature of the penis is an abnormal bending of the shaft that can affect both the aesthetics and functionality of the organ. This condition is present from birth and may become more noticeable during growth and development. Professor Gabriele Antonini, a renowned urologist and andrologist, performs penile straightening using the modified Nesbit technique, an innovative surgical approach that delivers excellent results in correcting and restoring the normal morphology of the penis.
The condition and its effects
Congenital dorsal curvature is characterized by an upward bend that can vary in severity. In mild cases, the condition may not interfere with sexual activity, but in more pronounced cases, it can cause difficulties with penetration, psychological distress, and insecurity.
This anomaly is different from Peyronie’s disease, which is an acquired curvature caused by fibrotic plaque formation. In congenital curvature, the problem arises due to asymmetric development of erectile tissue.
The modified Nesbit technique
Penile straightening surgery is the most effective solution for correcting dorsal curvature. The modified Nesbit technique involves removing small portions of tissue from the opposite side of the curvature, allowing for a straightened penis without significantly affecting erectile function.
Professor Antonini has refined this technique to minimize complications, ensuring a faster post-operative recovery and optimal aesthetic results. The procedure is typically performed under local or spinal anesthesia and requires a short hospital stay.
Recovery and benefits
Following the surgery, the patient must undergo a period of rest and refrain from sexual activity for several weeks. In most cases, significant aesthetic and functional improvements are achieved, leading to high patient satisfaction.
