Penile Prosthesis and Curvature Correction Surgery

Penile prosthesis and curvature correction surgery, performed by Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu, offer an ideal solution for individuals dealing with Peyronie's disease and experiencing severe erectile issues while still desiring an active sex life. Additionally, surgeons may perform supplementary procedures during the surgery to address penile curvature.

Hospital Stay and Recovery:

Patients typically spend one day in the hospital following the procedure, with follow-up appointments scheduled within 7-10 days. After six weeks, patients can safely resume sexual intercourse.

Pre-Surgery Considerations

Before proceeding with any Peyronie's disease surgery, it is crucial to thoroughly discuss all potential risks and benefits with Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu. Furthermore:

If you are taking medications for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or COPD, consult Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu regarding medication intake and dosages. Blood thinners typically need to be completely discontinued before surgery, so inform Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu if you are using such medications.

Notify Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu if you experience symptoms such as fever, rash, or a cold shortly before the scheduled surgery, as the presence of these complaints may result in a postponement of the surgical procedure.

Preparation on the Surgery Day

On the day of the surgical procedure, a few key points should be observed:

Abstain from eating or drinking for at least six hours prior to surgery.
It is advisable to take a bath the night before or on the morning of the surgery; however, hair cleaning in the surgical area should not be done at home.

Post-Surgery Recovery and Considerations

Following penile curvature surgery and prosthesis placement, certain post-operative points merit attention:

Hospital Stay and Recovery:

The surgical area will typically be covered with sterile bandages and dressings, and some initial swelling or redness may occur.
It's essential to wash your hands with soapy water before touching the incision area, ensuring it remains clean and dry. The appropriate timing for taking a bath post-surgery will be guided by Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu.
After undergoing penile curvature (Peyronie's disease) surgery, patients are usually scheduled for wound healing follow-ups within 7-10 days, and they can typically resume sexual activity after six weeks. However, in unique cases, this timeline may be extended based on the recommendations of Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu.
