Objectives: To present the results of ventral plication for the repair of dorsal curvature.
Methods: A total of 33 patients (mean age 38 months, range 7 months to 15 years) with a dorsal curvature of >30 degrees degrees underwent ventral plication. A subcoronal incision was performed, followed by degloving of the skin to the penile base. The point of maximal curvature was noted and marked during an erection test. Two polypropylene 5-0 plication sutures were placed in the tunica albuginea of both corporeal bodies, just lateral and adjacent to the corpus spongiosum. Proper alignment and a straight penis were confirmed with a repeat erection test. The skin incision was closed with absorbable sutures. Surgical success was determined by parental and physician satisfaction with the final outcome during follow-up.
Results: No immediate or late complications (mean follow-up 25 months, range 3-65) developed. A straight penis was achieved in 28 of 33 patients (85%). Four patients with residual curvature did not require a second procedure, and the fifth patient successfully underwent reoperation using the same technique.
Conclusions: The results of our study have shown that ventral plication is a simple and efficient technique for the repair of dorsal penile curvature.

An illustrated description of a modified collagenase Clostridium histolyticum protocol for Peyronie's disease.
J Sex Med
December 2024
Department of Life Sciences, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, 84602, United States.
Background: Our team recently published outcomes of a novel technique for the administration of Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH), which resulted in improved curvature outcomes and reduced number of CCH injections required.
Aim: To provide a detailed and illustrated description of our CCH-administration technique.
Methods: A descriptive summary is provided of the technique, including drug administration, protocol modifications, and post-treatment protocols.
An emerging, less explored Subcutaneous onlay laparoscopic approach for ventral hernias with concomitant diastasis recti.

Ventral Hernia (VH) is a common issue in patients with Diastasis Recti (DR). VH with concomitant DR presents a challenging scenario for surgical repair due to complexity of abdominal wall defects. Traditional open surgical procedure is associated with prolonged discomfort and poor cosmesis and resultant patients' unacceptability.

Article Synopsis
- The research aims to show that combining Rectal wall Plication (RP) and robotic Ventral Mesh Rectopexy (VMR) is a safe and effective treatment for women with Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS).
- In a study involving 78 women, those who received the combination treatment (VMR + RP) experienced better improvements in sexual quality of life and increased sexual activity compared to those who had only VMR.
- Both treatment groups reported significant improvements in their posterior compartment scores and bowel function, with the combined approach showing potential for enhanced overall quality of life.
Collagen fleece grafting for surgical treatment of patients with mild to severe peyronie's curvatures.

Department of Urology, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Hoppe-Seyler-Straße 3, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- - Collagen fleece grafting (CFG) is typically used for severe Peyronie's disease with curvatures over 60°, but this study explores its effectiveness in mild to moderate cases (less than 60°) that risk penile shortening or have symptomatic plaques.
- - The study analyzed 89 patients who underwent surgery for Peyronie's disease, finding no significant differences in operation time or complication rates between those with mild/moderate and severe curvature.
- - Results suggest that CFG is a viable option for achieving penile straightening in selected cases of Peyronie's disease, with similar risks for patients across different curvature severities.
Dissociated urethral plate Onlay and standard Onlay urethroplasty for mid-distal hypospadias: A comparative study.

Background: Urethral plate (UP) reserved Onlay urethroplasty is currently used widely in mid-distal hypospadias. However, for children with 15-30° residual curvature after degloving, only dorsal tunica albuginea plication is performed to correct penile ventral curvature (VC), and long-term follow-up showed a high recurrence rate of penile curvature. We developed a modified Onlay urethroplasty, which dissociates the UP and completely removes the tissue beneath the UP to fully correct penile curvature.
