Surgical Correction of Curvature of the Penis ? Nesbit Procedure
Nesbit procedure is the term used to indicate a surgical process that is done to help in rectifying an abnormal severe curvature of the penis. This is the procedure that is indicated for bringing about straightening of a curvature of the penis that is present right from birth especially for cases that present with some moderate curvature of the penis. This method will be preferred over other procedures like tissue grafting as adverse effects like erectile dysfunction is much less a possibility.
But, the problems associated with performing the procedure include a shortening of the length of the penis and the possibility of loss of sensations in the penis. It can also have the possibility of causing erectile dysfunction although this is seen in only about 2 % of the cases. But, the good news is that a high 90% of the patients suffering from Peyronie?s disease and congenital curvature problem are very much satisfied with the outcome of the procedure.
The procedure is fairly trouble-free and simple. First, the penis is injected with a sterile physiologic salt solution. The purpose of this is to cause an erection of the penis artificially. The surgeon then places a clamp on the outer portion of the curvature that causes the connective tissue of the penis known as the Tunica Albuginea to become straighter. As a result of this procedure being performed, a slight shortening of the penis will be noted. The surgeon then sutures the area and it is common to see some oozing from the area of the suture a day or two following the operation but it is no cause for worry.
The person can resume normal sexual activity once the healing of the surgical area is complete. Also, the person should no longer feel any pain in the area which indicates complete healing.
