Historically, surgical techniques for this type of deformities were associated with longer operative time and greater patient dissatisfaction, mainly due to neurovascular bundle (NVB) dissection [1]. Previous studies described a midline dorsal plication technique in pediatric patients, allowing for an effective correction without requiring NVB manipulation [2-5]. Neuroanatomical studies have demonstrated the distribution of nerve fibers and identified the 12 o'clock position as the only nerve-free position [2]. Finally, in 2021, Bagnara et al published the description of the Giammusso corporoplasty in adults [6]. We aim to demonstrate with this video article the step by step of this previously published technique for ventral penile curvature correction. METHODS: This video article is a compilation of images of three surgeries performed for ventral penile curvature utilizing an adaptation of the Giammusso Corporoplasty technique. In the main video, the procedure was performed for a 26-year old male with a 62-degree ventral congenital penile curvature. Supplementary photographs of other two cases were added to the video: a 77-year old male with a 68-degree Peyronie’s ventral curvature and a 29-year old male with a 28-degree ventral congenital penile curvature. In all cases, a subcoronal incision was performed, and penile skin and Dartos’ fascia were degloved. The point of maximum curvature was identified after a saline induced artificial erection, Buck’s fascia was incised, and deep dorsal vein and its branches were then dissected and ligated. Differently from the Giammusso technique, we did not perform a corporoplasty, but a simple plication as described by Akdemir et al [5]. This latter technique however spares the deep dorsal vein. For the plication, after planning and marking their sites with Allys clamp and artificial erection confirming functional alignment, we utilized 3 inverted non-absorbable 2-0 coated polyester sutures for each plication site. Circumcision was performed for penile shaft closure. RESULTS: The three patients shown in this video obtained functional penile alignment, and no change in glans sensation. No severe adverse event was observed, with one patient developing a small penile hematoma managed conservatively. CONCLUSIONS: This video article describes Deep Dorsal Vein Bed Plication, a feasible and effective technique for ventral penile curvature treatment, which avoids NVB dissection and its associated risks such as glans hypoesthesia and glans necrosis.
