Treated by Prof. Ateş Kadıoğlu — EAU Sexual Health Guideline Committee member, AUA Core Curriculum editor, and one of the world's most published surgeons in Peyronie's disease.
Peyronie's disease affects approximately one in nine men — causing fibrous scar tissue (plaque) to develop on the penis, resulting in a painful or curved erection that can make sexual activity difficult or impossible. For many men, it also causes significant psychological distress that extends well beyond the physical symptoms.
The condition is more common than most men — and many doctors — realise. And yet access to a truly specialist surgeon is remarkably difficult in most Western countries. At Men's Health Istanbul, patients from the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Gulf come specifically to be treated by Prof. Kadıoğlu: a surgeon who does not simply treat Peyronie's disease, but actively contributes to the international guidelines that govern how it is treated worldwide.
Prof. Kadıoğlu is a member of the EAU (European Association of Urology) Sexual & Reproductive Health Guideline Committee — the body responsible for setting the clinical standards for Peyronie's disease management across Europe and beyond. He is also the AUA Core Curriculum editor for Erectile Dysfunction and Peyronie's Disease.
Peyronie's disease is a disorder of wound healing in which abnormal scar tissue (plaque) forms inside the tunica albuginea — the fibrous sheath surrounding the erectile tissue of the penis.
This plaque prevents normal expansion during erection, leading to curvature, shortening, or deformities such as hourglass or hinge effects.
Peyronie's disease is also closely associated with erectile dysfunction — either as a direct consequence of the plaque, or as a psychogenic response to the deformity. In cases where both are present, combined surgical management (curvature correction with penile implant) is often the most effective approach.
| Acute Phase | Lasts 6–18 months. Pain, active inflammation, and changing curvature. Non-surgical treatments are considered. |
| Chronic Phase | Stable curvature for 3+ months. Pain resolves. Surgery becomes the most effective option. |
Surgery is the gold standard for Peyronie's disease in the stable phase — offering the most reliable and definitive correction of penile deformity. Prof. Kadıoğlu performs all three major surgical approaches, selecting the most appropriate technique based on each patient's specific deformity, penile length, rigidity, and goals.
| Technique | Best For | Procedure | Length Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plication (TAP / Nesbit) | <60° curvature | Shortens longer side | Mild shortening |
| Plaque Incision & Grafting | >60°, deformities | Plaque cut + graft | Length preserved |
| Plaque Excision & Grafting | Severe plaques | Plaque removal | Variable |
| Penile Prosthesis | With ED | Implant + correction | Depends |
Surgery in Western countries may cost $15,000–$30,000. In Istanbul, patients typically save 60–75% with all-inclusive packages.
| USA | $15,000 – $30,000 |
| UK | £8,000 – £20,000 |

Surgery is generally recommended when your disease is in the stable (chronic) phase — meaning curvature and symptoms have not changed for at least three months, and pain has resolved. Most men are assessed with a photograph of the erect penis (taken at home) for initial evaluation.
Plication techniques (Nesbit/TAP) do involve a small degree of shortening — typically 0.5 to 1.5 cm. Grafting procedures (PIG/PEG) aim to preserve or restore length. Prof. Kadıoğlu will discuss expected outcomes with you in detail during consultation, based on your specific deformity.
For plication procedures, straightening success rates exceed 90%. For grafting procedures, the majority of patients achieve functionally straight or near-straight results. Patient satisfaction in published series is consistently high.
Yes — and in many cases, combined surgery is the most efficient and effective approach. Prof. Kadıoğlu performs penile prosthesis placement with simultaneous Peyronie's correction (intraoperative modelling or grafting) in a single procedure.

A plain-language guide to the three surgical approaches used at Men's Health Istanbul — written to help you understand your options before your consultation with Prof. Kadıoğlu.
When Peyronie's disease has reached the stable phase and conservative treatments have not provided adequate relief, surgery offers the most reliable path to correcting penile curvature.
The right surgical approach depends on several factors: the degree of your curvature, whether an hourglass or hinge deformity is present, your erectile function, your penile length, and your priorities for the outcome.
There is no single "best" operation for Peyronie's disease. Prof. Kadıoğlu's surgical selection follows the AUA and EAU guideline algorithm — the same framework he has contributed to as committee member and editor:
The evaluation process includes a review of your photographs, stretched penile length measurement, and assessment of your erectile function. For international patients, this can begin remotely before you travel.
Peyronie's disease is a disorder of wound healing in which fibrous scar tissue (plaque) forms inside the tunica albuginea — the fibrous sheath surrounding the erectile tissue.
This plaque does not stretch normally, causing curvature, shortening, narrowing, or hourglass deformity.
Plication corrects curvature by shortening the longer side of the penis, restoring symmetry.
| Operation time | 60–90 minutes |
| Anaesthesia | General / spinal |
| Hospital stay | 1 night |
| Length effect | 0.5–1.5 cm shortening |
| Success rate | 90%+ |
| Recovery | 6–8 weeks |
The plaque is incised or removed, and the defect is filled with graft material to restore shape and length.
| Operation time | 90–150 minutes |
| Anaesthesia | General |
| Hospital stay | 1–2 nights |
| Length effect | Preserved / improved |
| Success rate | 85–95% |
| Recovery | 8–12 weeks |
For patients with erectile dysfunction, a penile implant provides rigidity while correcting curvature in the same procedure.
This approach treats both curvature and erectile dysfunction in a single operation.
| Implants | Coloplast Titan / AMS 700 |
| Correction | Manual modelling / grafting |
| Operation | 90–120 minutes |
| Infection rate | <0.5% |
| Recovery | 6–8 weeks |
A transparent, complete guide to what Peyronie's disease surgery actually costs — and why Istanbul offers world-class treatment at a fraction of the Western price.
One of the first questions men ask is simple: how much does it cost? The reality is that pricing is often incomplete or unclear. Many clinics quote only the surgical fee, excluding hospital stay, anaesthesia, or post-operative care.
This guide gives you the full picture — including a transparent breakdown of what is included in the Men's Health Istanbul package.
| Country | Typical Cost | State Option | Not Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $15,000 – $30,000 | Not covered | Anaesthesia, follow-up often extra |
| United Kingdom | £8,000 – £20,000 | 2–3 year NHS wait | Hotel, travel |
| Germany | $10,000 – $18,000 | Partial coverage | Hotel, travel |
| France / Spain | $8,000 – $15,000 | Variable | Hotel, travel |
| Turkey (average) | $3,200 – $7,000 | N/A | Varies |
| Men's Health Istanbul | All-inclusive | N/A | Nothing hidden |
Patients typically save 60–75% compared to surgery in the US or Europe.
Unlike many clinics, this package is fully comprehensive — no hidden costs.
| Consultation | Assessment with Prof. Kadıoğlu |
| Pre-op tests | All hospital tests included |
| Surgery | TAP / Grafting / Implant |
| Anaesthesia | General or spinal |
| Hospital stay | 1–2 nights |
| Graft material | Included if needed |
| Medication | Full post-op care kit |
| Hotel | 5-star accommodation |
| Transfers | VIP airport + hospital |
| Coordinator | Dedicated support |
| Support | 24/7 post-op line |
The surgical techniques, materials, and standards are identical to those used in the US or Europe. The difference is cost structure — not quality.
| Procedure | Complexity | Time | Price Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plication (TAP) | Standard | 60–90 min | Base price |
| Grafting (PIG / PEG) | Moderate–High | 90–150 min | Slightly higher |
| Implant + correction | High | 90–120 min | Higher |

Non-surgical treatments can play a role in certain patients, particularly during the early phase of the disease. However, they are not a cure and do not reliably straighten the penis.
This guide explains what works, what doesn't, and when each option is appropriate.
The most evidence-supported non-surgical treatment. Works by applying controlled mechanical stretching to promote tissue remodelling.
Does not provide definitive straightening like surgery.
| Best for | Acute phase, mild curvature |
| Daily use | 30–90 minutes |
| Evidence | Moderate–strong |
| Guidelines | Recommended (EAU) |
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood injected into the plaque to promote healing.
Still emerging — not yet guideline-standard.
| Best for | Acute phase, mild–moderate cases |
| Sessions | 3–6 sessions |
| Evidence | Emerging |
| Guidelines | Not standard yet |
Uses acoustic waves to reduce inflammation and pain.
Does not significantly correct curvature.
Vitamins and medications have been widely used historically.
However, current guidelines do not recommend oral treatments due to lack of consistent evidence.
Breaks down plaque collagen and reduces curvature.
Effective in clinical trials but currently not available in Europe.
Non-surgical treatments may help during the early phase, but they do not reliably correct established curvature.
When Peyronie's disease is combined with erectile dysfunction, penile prosthesis with simultaneous correction offers the most effective solution.
Surgery provides the most reliable correction in these cases.
Send your photos and medical history for a personalised recommendation.
Get Free AssessmentFor men with both Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction, a single operation can treat both conditions simultaneously.
Combined surgery eliminates the need for two procedures and provides a more efficient recovery with better overall outcomes.
This is one of the most technically demanding procedures in andrological surgery — performed by experienced specialists like Prof. Kadıoğlu.

|---|---|---|
| Manual Modelling | Mild–moderate curvature | Implant is placed and penis is manually straightened |
| Modelling + Grafting | Severe curvature | Plaque is incised and graft placed |
Non-touch technique is used to reduce infection risk below 0.5%.
| Device | Why Used | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Coloplast Titan | Better for grafting cases | Narrow structure, strong rigidity |
| AMS 700 LGX | Length restoration | Expands in length and girth |
| Consultation | Full assessment |
