Egydio’s technique can be applied to different types of curvature, including Peyronie’s Disease and Congenital Curvature. Learn more!

Penile curvature can greatly affect a man’s self-esteem and quality of life, but there are solutions—one of them is Egydio’s technique.

With an innovative and personalized approach, this method aims to correct various types of curvature, whether caused by Peyronie’s Disease or Congenital Curvature, by restoring anatomical and functional aspects of the penis when possible.

Inside Egydio’s Technique

The Egydio Technique is a procedure indicated for the correction of penile curvature.

It’s important to clarify that this technique focuses on restoring penile length and is not directly related to penile prosthesis placement.

However, a prosthesis may be recommended in cases of poor blood flow or extensive penile fibrosis.

The methodology uses geometric principles, involving customized calculations to ensure that incisions are made in precise areas to reverse the deformity and recover the penile size and girth.

The key difference between Egydio’s technique and other surgical methods is that it lengthens the shorter side as much as possible, whereas other approaches match the length of the shorter side—potentially leading to a loss of up to five centimeters in severe cases.

Is Egydio’s Technique Suitable for All Types of Penile Curvature?

Egydio’s technique is used in various cases of curvature, including Peyronie’s Disease and Congenital Curvature, provided there is a proper medical indication.

At Egydio Medical Center, surgery is recommended when the curvature interferes with or prevents sexual intercourse.

Personalized Evaluation Is Essential

Like any surgical procedure, Egydio’s technique requires a personalized assessment to understand the patient’s specific condition.

During the consultation with Dr. Paulo Egydio, a physical examination is performed to assess the degree of curvature and evaluate penile narrowing.

The physician may also ask if:

  1. The condition interferes with sexual activity
  2. The patient has diabetes or any cardiovascular disease
  3. They are on continuous medication

Additional tests include drug-induced erection, vertical rigidity test, and penile ultrasound, which are discussed in the next section.

Necessary Exams for Case Evaluation

To assess suitability for Egydio’s technique, the following tests are commonly requested:

  • Drug-induced erection: used to analyze erectile response and degree of penile curvature during the erection phase;
  • Vertical rigidity test: if an erection is achieved, the physician checks for rigidity. If the penis bends easily, vertical rigidity may be compromised;
  • Penile ultrasound: a Doppler penile ultrasound helps assess the extent of fibrosis and blood flow inside the penis.

Next Steps After Results

If surgery is confirmed as the recommended course, the next steps involve preoperative blood and urine tests, and a cardiologic assessment.

If the patient has diabetes, it must be well-controlled.

The urologist will also instruct the patient to wash the pubic area with antibacterial soap two days before surgery.

Finally, preparation for penile reconstruction surgery includes fasting for eight hours (solids and liquids). A good night’s sleep the day before is also important.
