Abstract
Congenital penile curvature is a rare condition, explained by the disproportionate development of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa. It usually manifests in postpubertal males. Surgery has become a standard therapy to correct penile curvature. We present our experience with the management of a 25-year-old man, with no significant medical history, who presented with congenital severe penile curvature; full correction of curvature was achieved using a modified plicature technique without degloving. The goal of this report is to highlight the versatility, safety, and efficacy of this technique.
