Peyronie’s disease is a condition where scar tissue (plaque) forms inside the penis, causing curvature, pain, and erectile dysfunction. For some men, the condition is mild and manageable with non-surgical treatments. But for those with severe curvature, pain, or difficulty having sex, surgery may be the most effective solution.
In Bangkok, Peyronie’s disease surgery is available at specialized men’s health clinics with experienced urologists. This guide explains the surgical options, recovery timeline, risks, and long-term success rates.
What Is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s disease develops when scar tissue builds up inside the penis, leading to:
Noticeable curvature during erections
Shortening of the penis
Pain during sex
Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
Mild cases may respond to injections (collagenase, PRP, or exosomes), but surgery is often the best option for men with severe curvature or functional problems.
Surgical Options for Peyronie’s Disease
There are several surgical approaches depending on the severity of curvature and erectile function:
1. Plication Surgery
Shortens the longer side of the penis to straighten curvature
Suitable for men with good erectile function and mild to moderate curvature
Preserves erectile function but may cause slight shortening
2. Plaque Incision or Excision with Grafting
Scar tissue is cut (incised) or removed (excised)
A graft is placed to restore length and straighten the penis
Recommended for men with more severe curvature or narrowing
3. Penile Implant Surgery
A prosthesis (such as the Titan Implant) is placed
Corrects both curvature and erectile dysfunction
Best for men with Peyronie’s plus severe ED
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–7: Swelling and soreness are common; pain managed with medication
Week 2–4: Stitches dissolve; gradual improvement in comfort
Week 6–8: Most men resume sexual activity
Month 3+: Full recovery, with permanent correction of curvature
Success Rates of Peyronie’s Surgery
Plication surgery: 80–90% success rate in straightening
Grafting procedures: 70–80% success, with improvement in length but higher risk of ED
Penile implants: 85–95% success rate, correcting both curvature and ED
Overall, patient satisfaction rates are very high, especially when surgery is tailored to the individual’s condition.
Risks and Side Effects
While generally safe, Peyronie’s surgery carries potential risks:
Temporary swelling and pain
Loss of penile length (especially with plication)
Erectile dysfunction (higher risk after grafting)
Infection (rare with modern techniques)
Recurrence of curvature (uncommon but possible)
Choosing an experienced surgeon is critical for minimizing risks and achieving the best outcome.
