Expert Care Designed To Correct Curvature While Preserving Length

Peyronie’s disease is a condition that causes curvature of the penis, which can lead to pain, difficulties with sex, and a loss of confidence.
 
At Moorgate Andrology, our Urologists specialise in a range of both surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to each patient. Around 9% of men are affected by Peyronie’s disease, making it far more common than many realise.
 
Unlike some standard procedures offered by the NHS and other private clinics, we offer advanced techniques designed to correct the curvature while preserving length, giving you the best possible functional and cosmetic outcome.

Private Peyronie’s Treatment vs NHS: More Options, Faster Care

While the NHS often provides surgery for Peyronie’s disease, treatment options are usually limited to the Nesbit procedure, which can shorten the penis, and waiting times can be long. This is a serious issue for patients, as Peyronie’s disease can get worse the longer it is left untreated
 
At Moorgate Andrology, you have faster access to a full range of treatments.
 
Our non-surgical options include PRP, Shockwave therapy, and Verapamil injections. These treatments are minimally invasive, carry little to no downtime, and are often chosen by men looking to avoid or delay surgery.
 
For more advanced cases, our surgical techniques, such as plaque incision and grafting, are designed to correct curvature while preserving penile length.

Advanced Surgical Treatments for Peyronie’s Disease

At Moorgate Andrology, our two most advanced surgical treatments for Peyronie’s disease are Plaque Incision & Grafting and the Stage Technique.
 
Both procedures are designed to correct penile curvature while addressing one of the biggest concerns for patients - loss of length.
 
Plaque Incision and Grafting is a gold standard treatment for men with more severe curvature. By releasing the scar tissue and inserting a graft, the penis can be straightened while preserving as much length as possible.
 
This procedure is particularly suited to cases where traditional techniques, such as the Nesbit operation performed on the NHS, would lead to significant shortening. The surgery typically takes under two hours as a day case, with a recovery period of around six weeks before sexual activity or strenuous exercise can be resumed.
 
The Stage Technique is a modern surgical alternative developed to achieve penile straightening with minimal shortening.
 
Instead of removing or grafting tissue, the Stage method carefully adjusts the penile tissue to balance length on both sides. It is especially appropriate for men who want to avoid loss of length but may not require grafting.
 
With excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes, it provides an innovative option beyond standard NHS procedures.
 
Together, these two procedures give patients the opportunity to choose a surgical solution tailored to the severity of their curvature, while maximising both function and appearance.

Treatments Available At Moorgate 

While plaque incision and grafting is often considered the gold standard for Peyronie’s disease, Moorgate Andrology offers a full range of treatments tailored to the severity and stage of the condition.

These include:

Plaque Incision and Grafting

Plaque incision and grafting is considered the gold standard for more severe cases of Peyronie’s disease.
 
The procedure involves making precise incisions in the scar tissue and inserting a graft to straighten the penis while protecting its length.
 
Unlike shortening techniques, it focuses on preserving as much size as possible, making it especially beneficial for men with significant curvature.

The Stage Technique

The Stage technique is a modern surgical approach to correcting penile curvature caused by Peyronie’s disease.
 
Instead of simply shortening one side, it carefully adjusts the tissues to achieve straightening without loss of length.
 
This makes it a suitable choice for men who are concerned about penile shortening but still require reliable correction.

Nesbit Procedure

The Nesbit procedure is one of the most established surgical options for Peyronie’s disease and is commonly performed on the NHS.
 
It works by shortening the longer side of the penis to straighten the curve. This makes it particularly suitable for men with milder curvatures and good penile length to begin with.
 
The main drawback is a degree of penile shortening, which becomes more noticeable in severe cases. Despite this, it remains a reliable and effective solution for many men with less severe Peyronie’s disease.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for Peyronie’s disease that uses low-intensity acoustic waves to break down scar tissue and stimulate blood flow within the penis. This can help reduce pain and soften plaques in the early stages of the condition.
 
Treatment is quick, typically lasting around 20 minutes per session, with no downtime required.

PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP therapy is a non-surgical treatment for Peyronie’s disease that uses growth factors from the patient’s own blood to encourage natural healing.
 
By reducing scar tissue and promoting healthier tissue development, PRP can improve curvature and symptoms in the early stages of the condition.
 
Treatment is delivered through a short series of injections, carries little to no downtime, and is often chosen by men looking to avoid or delay surgery.
Learn More

Verapamil Injections

Verapamil injections are a non-surgical treatment that involves delivering medication directly into the penile plaque. The drug helps soften scar tissue, improve flexibility, and reduce curvature over a course of several sessions.
 
This approach is minimally invasive and well-tolerated, making it a good option for men in the early or moderate stages of Peyronie’s disease who are not ready for surgery.

FAQ’s

Peyronies disease is a very distressing condition that affects many men. Men with Peyronie’s disease have an unnatural curvature to the penis when it is erect due to scar tissue build up. The penis may bend upwards or to the left or right. In worst cases, it may be impossible to penetrate a partner due to the angle of the erect penis. In many cases, sexual activity can be painful for the sufferer and/or his partner.

Surgery is often an option to cure Peyronie’s disease. It is normally considered when conservative options have failed to improve the condition, or where the curvature is such that conservative options are not going to improve the condition enough. In the national health service a procedure called ‘The Nesbit procedure’ is performed. This procedure makes the penis straight but leads to penile shortening, which can be an unattractive and unwanted outcome for many men. With the Nesbit procedure the worse the curvature the more the shortening of the penis.

There are procedures offered in the private sector that focus on length preserving aspects. The penis is made straight again with minimal loss of length. An example of these innovative approaches would the so-called ‘Stage Technique’ and ‘plaque incision and grafting’.

These procedures are performed when the disease is in the chronic phase, sometimes referred to as the stable phase. Urologists need to make sure that there have been no changes in the curvature for a period of three months prior to any surgery being carried out or that any more scar tissue has formed. Adopting this approach minimises the chances of the disease returning. It can take up to one year for Peyronie’s disease to move from the acute phase to the chronic phase.

To help diagnose Peyronie’s disease, it can be a good idea for patients to take photos of the penis each month during the acute phase to monitor the progression of the disease. This can be very helpful for the Urologist in the overall assessment of the case.

Peyronies disease surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and takes around two hours. In most cases, patients can go home on the same day.

The actual surgical procedure to correct Peyronie’s disease is performed under general anaesthetic. This means you would be asleep for the duration of the procedure and you would not feel anything.

This would be true of anything we procedures we perform when treating Peyronie’s disease such as the Nesbit procedure, the stage technique, and the plaque incision and grafting technique.

Upon discharge from the hospital after such a procedure you would be given antibiotics and pain relief medication.

In the first week or two you should expect some discomfort. This is normal and to be expected in the initial healing phase. Your penis will be swollen and quite bruised. You will most likely have a compression dressing on the penis at first which may feel quite tight.

To ease discomfort it is important to take the pain relief medication and takes things steady in the first week or two. You must avoid all strenuous activity for up to six weeks after surgery. This includes Gym and sporting activities. If you undertake these too soon they can increase swelling and increase pain as a result. Similarly, you must avoid all sexual activity including masturbation for six weeks.

As the swelling and bruising settle down in the following weeks so will the discomfort. Those with a sedentary job may only need to take a few days off work, whilst those in more physical jobs may need to take on a week off.

If you experience increasing pain after the surgery you should contact your Urologist as this could be a sign of infection.

Most patients who undergo the surgery tolerate the post-operative discomfort without any problems. It is very important to follow the advice of the Urologist to the letter after the procedure as some of this advice will be to help to ensure the most comfortable recovery possible.

Men with Peyronie’s disease notice an unnatural curvature to their penis when it is erect due to excess scar tissue causing a bend. When the penis is flaccid this curvature may not be noticeable.

Most guys have never heard of Peyronie’s disease when they encounter this condition. To see their penis suddenly bending can be quite shocking and upsetting. It affects relationships and in the worst cases can make sexual intercourse virtually impossible.

Peyronies disease goes through two phases, known as an acute phase and a chronic phase.

In the acute phase, there is often pain during an erection and the start of bending of the penis. The penis may bend upwards towards the body, or left or right. In this acute phase, the patient can just wait and see how the disease develops over the following nine to twelve months before it enters the chronic phase.

However, there is the option to try conservative treatments in this acute phase to attempt to limit the extent of the curvature and promote the healing of the damaged tissues.

This conservative treatment may consist of therapies such as tadalafil medication which oxygenates the penis by encouraging blood flow. This helps in the healing process. Alongside tadalafil, other therapies include a vacuum pump and traction device to help with the remodeling of the penis. It cannot be determined how much these therapies will help, time will tell, but in the acute phase, there is evidence that they do help and patients generally feel better that they are making an effort to improve the situation.

When the disease enters the chronic phase then an assessment will need to be made of the extent and impact of the curvature. If the conservative therapies have helped, it might be that the patient can live with a moderate degree of curvature without any major impact on their sexual performance. If however, the curvature has worsened over the previous year, surgery will need to be considered to make the penis straight again. Indeed in significant curvature, this is really the only option. The NHS carries out a procedure known As ‘The Nesbit procedure’ which will straighten the penis but leave it shorter than before. Now there are more advanced procedures available privately that straighten the penis whilst protecting its length. Such procedures include the so-called ‘Stage Technique’ and ‘plaque incision and grafting’.

If the penis is left untreated at the chronic phase with a significant curvature, there is a risk of a penile fracture.

Surgery for peyronie’s disease is common in cases of significant bending of the penis, usually where more conservative treatments in the acute phase have failed to have any reasonable impact.

In Peyronie’s disease the condition moves from an acute phase into a chronic, or sometimes called, a stable phase.

This transition is very important when considering the timing of surgery for Peyronie’s disease. In the acute phase the patient will notice a progressive bending of the penis. This bending may be upwards towards the body, or it may be to the left or right. Urologists usually advise patients to take photos of the penis at the same angle once a month, to help monitor the changes in the penile curvature.

The disease tends to move into the stable phase at around nine to twelve months. The patient will notice no change in the curvature. The Urologist will want to see a period of three months with no changes to the angle of curvature before considering Peyronie’s disease surgery. This is very important because if the surgery is carried out too soon, for example when the disease is in the acute phase, there is a higher risk that the disease may return after the surgery.

By waiting until the disease moves into the stable phase there is much less risk of the curvature returning after surgery. It should be mentioned that there is a very small risk of a recurrence of Peyronie’s disease after the surgery, but this is rare.

The Stage Technique vs The Nesbit Procedure

The Stage Technique has significant advantages over traditional Peyronie’s disease treatment methods, such as the Nesbit procedure used by the NHS.

  • High risk of penile length loss with Nesbit, minimal length loss with Stage.
  • Higher risk of haematoma following Nesbit surgery. This risk is very low with the Stage Technique.
  • There is a much lower risk of loss of glans sensitivity with the Stage Technique when compared to Nesbit.
  • Much lower risk of recurrence of Peyronie’s disease with the Stage Technique.
  • 99.1 % straightening rate with the Stage Technique compared to only 76.2% with the Nesbit procedure.
