Did you know it’s possible to recover penis size and girth up to the limits of nerves and urethra? These are just some of the main benefits of the Egydio Technique. Learn more about it in today’s text.

Peyronie’s Disease is a medical condition that affects the connective tissue of the penis, causing the formation of fibrous scar tissue within the organ.

The problem can lead to a series of uncomfortable symptoms, such as abnormal curvature of the penis during erection, pain during sexual intercourse, and even difficulty having an erection (or maintaining an erect penis).

For many men suffering from Peyronie’s, finding an effective treatment can help in the recovery of sexual function. In some cases, surgical treatment, when well indicated, can be a definitive solution.

The Egydio surgical technique, developed for penis reconstruction, is aimed at patients suffering from penile deformity caused by Peyronie’s Disease.

Published by Dr. Paulo Egydio in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the approach aims to correct curvature, size, and girth of the penis, as well as restore erectile function and penetrative capacity that was lost over time.

Our content today aims to highlight the main benefits and differentials of the Egydio Technique, bringing valuable information for men facing the challenges of Peyronie’s Disease. Follow along below and learn everything about the subject.

What is Peyronie’s Disease?

Peyronie’s Disease is a medical condition that affects men, manifesting through an abnormal curvature of the penis. This occurs due to the formation of fibrous tissues, known as fibrotic plaques, inside the organ.

These plaques act as rigid scars, preventing the penis from stretching uniformly during an erection, resulting in curvature.

It is suspected that the condition may originate from injuries to the penis, possibly during sexual or physical activity. Factors such as genetic predisposition and age may also play a role in its development.

Beyond being a mere aesthetic issue, it can have a significant impact on the quality of life of affected patients.

While in some cases the curvature may be mild and not cause major problems, in others, it can be severe, causing pain, difficulties during sexual activity, and emotional and self-esteem impacts.

What is the Egydio Technique?

If you are looking for a way to correct the penile curvature related to Peyronie’s disease or congenital curvature, surgery can be an excellent option.

Although the surgical approach is not the first recommendation for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease, in more advanced cases and, if well indicated, it can treat the problem by restoring the dimensions of the penis.

The Egydio Technique has been in use since 1998. This option was created with the goal of achieving the best results and aiming to bring greater patient satisfaction, considering issues of dimensions and firmness of the organ.

Named by Dr. Paulo Egydio – a Brazilian doctor with a PhD in Urology – in his doctoral thesis at the University of São Paulo (USP) in 2000 as Egydio’s Technique, it is internationally recognized and has patents in the United States and Europe.

Advantages of Surgery with the Egydio Technique for Peyronie’s

Peyronie’s Disease, along with congenital curvature, are two conditions that affect about 6% to 10% of men aged between 40 and 70 years.

The advantage of the Egydio Technique for Peyronie’s over other techniques is its ability to reconstruct the dimensions without the use of grafts. The Egydio Technique applies geometric principles involving multiple small incisions, allowing optimization of penis size and girth within the anatomical limits of nerves, vessels, and urethra.

This approach was specifically developed to effectively correct penile deformities, providing a more effective functional recovery.

Besides increasing the size and thickening the penis, the technique aims to avoid the problems associated with other methodologies, which often result in a reduction of penile length and fail to correct certain deformities, such as thinning, that can arise as unwanted side effects of surgery.

In the Egydio Technique, problems related to traditional techniques are resolved through these principles, as we will see in the figure below:

Recovery of Penis Size and Girth

The Egydio Technique uses innovative geometric principles to address penile deformities, offering an alternative that seeks to preserve and potentially recover penis size and girth.

While traditional methods often reduce the longer side to match the length to the shorter side and align the penis, the Egydio Technique expands the shorter side to match it to the longer side.

This method not only aims to correct curvature but also considers the proportion between penis size and girth, avoiding disproportions and potentially increasing both length and thickness.

Preservation of Penile Length

The Egydio Technique applies the same innovative geometric principles to maximize the preservation of penile length. By identifying the point of maximum curvature, this technique performs tissue expansion that avoids the need for grafts, thus maintaining the original length of the penis.

This process not only preserves but can also improve penile length, standing out as a significant benefit compared to other surgical approaches.

Improvement in Penile Rigidity

In improving penile rigidity, the Egydio Technique can be combined with the placement of a penile prosthesis, especially in cases of severe erectile dysfunction that do not respond to drug treatment.

This dual process not only corrects curvature and disproportions but also increases the size and thickness of the penis, offering an integrated solution that enhances rigidity and functionality of the organ.

However, it is important to note that surgery is not always necessary for cases of Peyronie’s or related to erectile dysfunction: the decision to undergo the procedure should be made in consultation with a specialized urologist, considering individual symptoms and the degree of penile curvature.

Personalized Approach and Satisfactory Results

Shall we embark on this journey together from the start? The path toward treating Peyronie’s disease begins with seeking a trustworthy urologist and, preferably, with experience in this type of treatment.

During this consultation, the doctor generally seeks to obtain the clinical history of the patient to better understand the clinical picture. The information collected at this time can be equally important, or even more so, than the results of tests.

When indicated, the personalized approach of the Egydio Technique considers the anatomy of each patient. A detailed diagnosis is performed, including specific tests, to fully understand the individual characteristics of the penis, such as size, girth, points of thinning, and curvature.

This customization allows for a more precise application of geometric principles, aiming for results that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally effective.

In this way, achieving satisfactory results becomes even more accessible, as the doctor will conduct a comprehensive analysis of your case from the very beginning.

Recovery of Self-Esteem and Quality of Life

The combination of size recovery, length preservation, improved rigidity, and a personalized approach significantly contributes to overall patient satisfaction and improved sexual quality of life.

The Egydio Technique aims to offer not just an aesthetic or functional solution but also to restore the self-confidence and quality of life that many patients lose when facing challenges with penile health.

Differentials of the Technique Compared to Others

The Egydio Technique is a surgical technique that stands out in the treatment of penile deformities. This technique prioritizes the preservation of penile length and aims to correct the curvature of the organ, thus contributing to achieving adequate penile rigidity.

Furthermore, the Egydio Technique can preserve or even expand the size and girth of the penis, aiming for a good relationship between size and girth and consequently, penetrative capability. Each procedure is carefully personalized, adapting to the unique needs and characteristics of each patient, seeking the best possible results.

This surgical method not only improves functionality but also focuses on aesthetics and the overall well-being of the individual.

Furthermore, the Egydio Technique has a proven track record of success and is internationally recognized as a cutting-edge treatment option for Peyronie’s disease.

Check out what a multicenter study conducted by European doctors at the Tor Vergata University of Medicine in Rome in 2011, with the participation of 157 patients, reveals:

“All 157 patients regained their ability to penetrate without difficulty. Additionally, an average increase in penis size of 2.5 cm was recorded, ranging from 1.7 cm to 4.1 cm in penile length, with all patients engaging in penetrative sexual relations. In conclusion, this procedure represents a safe and reproducible technique for the correction of penile curvature resulting from Peyronie’s disease and offers excellent aesthetic and functional results. — Sansalone S, Garaffa G, Djinovic R, et al.
