The STAGE technique is an intervention on the long side of the penis to refine the treatment of some cases of congenital curvature. It maximizes dimensions after penis alignment. Learn more.
The STAGE technique is a surgical treatment for penile curvature developed in 2014 from a modification of the Egydio technique.
Originally, the Egydio technique involves making incisions on the short side of the penis to expand the tissues and recover the alignment and dimensions of the penis. The method complements the first, helping to make the member more aligned.
Discover the STAGE Technique
This technique uses geometric principles to define the exact point – at the bisector, that is, the point of maximum curvature – where multiple small incisions will be made in the tunica albuginea on the long side of the penis.
The elliptical-shaped incisions made in the tunica produce tissue expansion, which helps improve penile alignment.
Differences Between the Egydio Technique and the STAGE Technique
Although both techniques are based on geometric principles, some differences exist:
- The Egydio technique is applied on the short side of the penis; the STAGE technique is performed on the long side;
- The STAGE technique makes incisions in the outermost layer of the tunica albuginea, which reduces the risk of bleeding and bruising;
- While the Egydio technique represents a complete treatment, the STAGE technique is indicated for surgical refinement, if necessary.

Is the Technique Recommended for All Types of Penile Curvature?
This type of penile curvature surgery is not suitable for all cases.
This surgical treatment is indicated for patients with congenital curvature, who can achieve improved alignment and penile size with the STAGE technique.
A study reported that complete penile axis correction was achieved in 98.6% of cases.
Therefore, the use of the STAGE technique represents a personalized treatment option and should be performed by a specialized and experienced urologist, both for decision-making and practice.
Can the STAGE Method Be Combined with Other Treatments for Better Results?
It is recommended that the STAGE technique be combined with other techniques for better sexual well-being of the patient.
As this is a refinement technique for correcting penile curvature, it can produce better results when combined with the Egydio technique, for example.
What Is the Main Advantage of the STAGE Technique Compared to Others?
The STAGE technique is the only technique for the long side of the penis that is based on geometric principles and does not cause size reduction.
However, it is important to highlight that it is a refinement and, most of the time, is used in conjunction with other techniques.
Are There Non-Surgical Alternatives for Treating Penile Curvature?
Although surgical strategies for penile curvature have evolved since the advent of the Nesbit technique in the 1960s, it is preferable not to need them.
In this sense, there are clinical treatments that can help stabilize or reverse cases of acquired curvature (Peyronie’s Disease) and congenital curvature.
In addition, these conditions can be accompanied by erectile dysfunction, which can also be treated with medications and injections, without the need for surgery for penile prosthesis placement.

Living with penile curvature can lead a man to go through difficult times. Problems during intimate moments, relationship difficulties, social pressure, personal dissatisfaction, and isolation are some of the challenges he may face before seeking help.
The experience at the EMC clinic shows that by treating penile curvature, the patient gains improvements in male sexual health and quality of life.
In the study that analyzed the results of the STAGE technique, it is possible to note that, in addition to functional results, patients experienced improvements in self-esteem, libido, sexual relationships, and psychosocial relief.
