The Egydio geometrical procedure for managing penile curvature using a single relaxing incision: A single-centre experience with 330 patients

OBJECTIVE: To present our 3-year experience with the Egydio’s geometrical procedure for managing penile curvature with some modifications. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In all, 330 patients (mean age 51 years) that underwent the Egydio’s procedure as day cases were included in this study. RESULTS: The mean penile curvature was 45° and 27.3% of the patients reported mild erectile dysfunction (ED) preoperatively. Partial excision of the calcified plaque was performed in 12.1% of the patients. Partial glans necrosis was recorded in one patient, while haematoma was recorded in 9%, and delayed wound healing in 3%. There was residual curvature (mean 20°) requiring reoperation in 8.2% of the patients. In all, 10% of the patients were dissatisfied with their results, while of the remainder, 75.2% were totally satisfied and 14.8% partially satisfied. ED was reported in 31.8% of the patients (moderate: 17.3% and significant: 2.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The Egydio geometrical technique for the treatment of penile curvature seems to be a simple, reproducible, safe, and efficient operation.
