To present the surgical results and the functional outcomes after surgical correction of congenital penile curvature (CPC) by different plication techniques.

All consecutive patients operated for CPC from 2010 to 2019 in a university hospital of Lyon, France, were retrospectively identified and included for analyzing surgical results. They were proposed to answer a questionnaire (between January 2020 and May 2020) that included questions of the Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ), the Erection Hardness Score (EHS), and the Internal Index of Erectile Function (IIEF5), along with non-validated specific questionnaires.

A total of 31 patients were included, their mean (SD) age was 21.2 (4.9) years, their mean (SD) follow-up of 55.5 (33.7) months. The principal curvature was ventral for 25 (80.6%) patients. After the surgery, 28 (90.3%) patients had straight penis or a residual curvature less than 15°, and 2 (6.5%) required a second surgery.

A total of 23 (74.2%) patients answered the post-operative questionnaire. The mean (SD) scores were 1.2/16 (1.8) for PDQ-Bothered Score, 1.5/24 (2.1) for PDQ Psychological and Physical, and 1.7/30 (2.7) for PDQ pain. The mean (SD) IIEF5 was 22.7/25 (4.6). All patients had an EHS of 4/4. There were 10 patients who never had sexual intercourse before the surgery and 4 who still had not when answering the questionnaire. All patients (23/23) were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the outcomes of the operation, and 13 (56.5%) reported improvement of their sexual life after surgery.

This study confirmed the favorable outcomes of surgical plication for CPC with low morbidity. A concomitant sexological care may be useful for some patients.
