The surgical gold standard treatment for severe erectile dysfunction (ED) is inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP). During IPP placement, penile curvature can also be addressed, and may be corrected in up to 90% of cases with inflation alone. However, for severe deformities, adjunctive maneuvers are needed. Our preference is to place plicating sutures for deformities greater than 30 degrees. We find this technique to be quick and reliable, without additional risks. Here we describe penile plication with simultaneous IPP.
