The Nesbit Procedure 

The Nesbit procedure is a widely used surgical technique to correct penile curvature associated with Peyronie’s disease; it remains a trusted option, especially for those with mild to moderate curvature. Performed under general anaesthetic, the operation typically takes about an hour, with most patients able to return home the same day.

During surgery, an artificial erection is induced, enabling the urologist to precisely locate the curvature.
 
A small piece of tissue is then removed from the longer side of the penis and stitched together to straighten it.
 
This method is straightforward and reliable, offering a high success rate.
 
One downside is a degree of penile shortening, generally modest - typically under 1.5 cm in mild cases. More severe curvature may result in greater shortening, making alternative approaches like plaque incision and grafting more appropriate.

Recovery

Recovery usually requires about a week off work, with avoidance of sexual activity and strenuous exercise for approximately six weeks.

Swelling and bruising are expected initially, but dissolvable stitches, along with antibiotics and pain relief, support smooth healing. Night-time erections can aid blood flow and recovery despite potential initial discomfort.

Your Peyronie’s disease must be in the stable phase before we can consider this surgery. This means that you will not have seen any changes in the curvature for at least three months. For most patients the disease moves from the acute phase to the stable phase between six and twelve months. It can be a good idea to take photos very four weeks to monitor the progress of your curvature. These can often be helpful for the Urologist too.

You may be able to feel the scar tissue through your penile skin. This scar tissue is called Plaque, and it is the cause of the bending in your erect penis.
