[Personal treatment of congenital penile curvature].

Severe type I congenital curvature of the penis is characterised by an almost transparent hypoplasia uretra. Treatment consists of resecetion of the dysplasic urethra and its replacement by tubular grafts of preputial or extragenital skin or of the vesical or buccal mucous membrane. We present our experience of four patient with type I congenital curvature of the penis which we treated with a simple surgical technique consisting of leaving the over-lying skin attached to the hypoplasia urethra and resecting the remaining fibrotic tissue which is connected to and retracts the skin and the cavernous bodies. We performed plastic surgery of the dorsal surface of the tunica albuginea to achieve correct penis hardening and finalized the surgery with reconstruction of the ventral surface of the penis by spreading out the dorsal prepuce or by using a pediculated graft of surplus preputial skin.
