Effective Curvature Correction For Peyronies Disease
The Nesbit Procedure is a well-established surgical option for men with Peyronie’s Disease who have stable penile curvature. At Moorgate Andrology, we offer this procedure to safely straighten the penis, improve sexual function, and enhance confidence.
While it may involve slight shortening of the longer side of the penis, the Nesbit Procedure is highly effective for correcting curvature and restoring normal sexual activity.
What is the Nesbit Procedure ?
During the Nesbit Procedure, the surgeon removes or folds small sections of tissue on the longer side of the penis, allowing the penis to straighten. Unlike length-preserving grafting surgery, some minor reduction in length may occur, but the procedure provides predictable, reliable results for correcting moderate to severe curvature.

Who is suitable for the nesbit procedue ?
The Nesbit Procedure is suitable for men who:
-
Have moderate curvature not exceeding 60–70 degrees
-
Are in the stable phase of Peyronie’s Disease (no recent changes in curvature)
-
Prefer a proven, reliable method of correction
-
Understand and accept minor shortening for a straighter penis
Your suitability will be determined during a private consultation with one of our expert urologists.
