| Abstract: Objective: To assess the results of the correction of congenital penile curvature using the Nesbit operation. Patients and methods: The records of 106 patients who had a Nesbit operation to correct a congenital penile curvature between 1977 and 1992 were reviewed.
Results: An excellent (78.3%) or satisfactory (17.9%) result was achieved representing an overall success rate of 96.2%. The reasons for a poor or satisfactory result were either an impaired erection-7 (6.6%) [all psychogenic] or a residual deformity of 10 degrees-16 (15.1%). There were no major complications although five patients (5.3%) needed a further Nesbit operation.
Conclusion: The Nesbit operation is a simple and effective technique for the correction of a congenital penile curvature.
