What does penile curvature (Peyronie's disease) treatment cost?

Penile curvature (Peyronie's disease) treatment costs depend on the method. Typical ranges: medication and injection therapy about KRW 50,000–200,000 (per session); extracorporeal shock wave therapy about KRW 100,000–300,000 (per session); curvature correction surgery about KRW 3,000,000–8,000,000. Costs vary with the degree of curvature and the method chosen.

Is a normal sex life possible after male reconstructive surgery?

This varies with the type of surgery and your condition, but the goal is functional recovery, and many patients report satisfying results.

How is foreign material injection damage treated?

Depending on the damage, foreign material removal may also require tissue reconstruction, so specialist consultation is essential.

Are there cases where revision surgery is needed?

Revision surgery may be considered for post-surgery complications or insufficient functional recovery.

How long is recovery after surgery?

To prevent infection, keep the area clean, avoid strenuous activity, and attend regular follow-ups.

Male Reconstructive Surgery

Function-restoring surgery is needed for many causes, including trauma and congenital anomalies.

Restoring structure and function at the same time:
what is male genital reconstructive surgery?

Male reconstructive surgery information, Goldman TV

VIEW

Male reconstructive surgery is urologic surgery that repairs genitalia damaged by trauma, congenital anomalies, or surgical complications, restoring the genitalia and improving function; it is also key to physical, psychological, and sexual recovery.

Male genital reconstructive surgery: why is it needed?

Male reconstructive surgery is not merely cosmetic; it is an important operation that relieves discomfort caused by functional problems, trauma, or congenital abnormalities.
It is performed when these are accompanied by voiding difficulty, reduced sexual function, or psychological withdrawal, and it helps with both physical recovery and restored confidence.

Structural abnormality of the penis
Abnormal penile curvature may need surgery because of the functional problems it causes.
Penile trauma and injury
Acquired penile trauma or injury may require reconstructive surgery to restore function.
Side effects of penile procedures
Side effects of non-medical procedures or self-injected foreign material may warrant penile reconstructive surgery.
Testicular conditions
If a testicle is missing or its appearance needs restoring, reconstructive surgery can help.
Other
Problems from congenital anomalies, trauma, or infection may also need reconstructive surgery.

What is penile curvature?

Penile curvature is a condition, congenital or acquired, in which the penis bends to one side during erection.
There are usually no symptoms at rest, but bending, pain, and reduced erectile strength during erection may occur, and in severe cases vaginal penetration can be difficult.

Causes and types of penile curvature

Congenital penile curvature arises from an imbalance in penile tissue or fibrosis, while the acquired form usually results from damage and scarring of the tunica albuginea after middle age.
In both cases the penis bends during erection, but the causes and treatments differ.

Congenital Penile Curvature

Congenital penile curvature bends the penis downward or sideways during erection with no structural abnormality, and is usually noticed after puberty.
Acquired Penile Curvature

Acquired penile curvature mainly develops after middle age.Plaques in the tunica albuginea bend the penis during erection; it is also called Peyronie's disease.

Penile Curvature Treatment

In penile curvature the penis bends during erection, which can interfere with sexual life, and about 50% of cases resolve on their own.
Severe symptoms require medical (drug) therapy or surgery, and early treatment helps reduce psychological withdrawal.

Tunica Albuginea Plication

The tunica albuginea on the side opposite the curve is excised and sutured to even out the length and correct the penile curvature.
Plaque Excision and Tissue Grafting

After the hardened plaque is removed, dermal or vascular tissue is grafted to restore the shape.
Penile Implant Surgery

If erectile function is weak, a penile implant is inserted into the corpus cavernosum after the plaque is removed.

What Is Penile Fracture?

A tear in the tunica albuginea surrounding the corpus cavernosum, caused by external force during an erection, is called a penile fracture or tunica albuginea rupture.

The penis has no bone; the name comes from the “pop” sound heard with pain and swelling.

Causes and Types of Penile Fracture

Penile fracture occurs when excessive force is applied to the penis during intercourse, and a ‘pop’ sound along with pain, swelling, and hematoma may follow.
In severe cases the penis may bend, or urethral injury may cause bleeding.

Penile Fracture Diagnosis

Penile fracture is diagnosed with cavernosography and Doppler ultrasound.

Cavernosography

Contrast is injected with a fine needle, then X-rays show the location and extent of the injury.
Abnormal findingNormal finding

Penile Doppler Ultrasound

An ultrasound that checks for abnormal blood flow in the erectile tissue.

Penile Fracture Treatment

Mild penile fractures can heal on their own, but most cases require surgery.

Tunica Albuginea Repair

Surgery that locates the damaged tunica albuginea, sutures it precisely, and thoroughly removes the hematoma (a clot formed by the bleeding).

Types of Male Reconstructive Surgery

Male reconstructive surgery spans many procedures; Goldman specializes in testicular prosthesis implantation and foreign body removal.

What is testicular prosthesis implantation?

Having no testis due to testicular injury, untreated undescended testis, removal for testicular cancer, or anorchia causes great psychological stress. Testicular prosthesis implantation restores the normal shape of the scrotum, helping rebuild confidence and ease psychological withdrawal.

Types of Testicular Prostheses

Testicular prostheses are mainly cohesive gel or silicone.

Cohesive Gel Testicular Prosthesis

FDA- and KFDA-approved, it feels natural, is proven safe, and causes no discomfort in daily life or sexual activity.
Silicone Testicular Prosthesis

Its soft material feels like a real testicle and does not affect daily life or sexual activity.

Surgical Procedure

Step

Under local anesthesia, a 3–4 cm incision is made
and the testicular prosthesis is inserted.
Step

After insertion, the incision is sutured to complete the surgery.
The procedure takes about 20 minutes.
Step

Pain is minimal, so same-day discharge is possible,
and about a week of treatment is needed.
Step

Rejection is rare, and temporary swelling, infection,
or hematoma improves with medical (drug) therapy if it occurs.

Goldman's Aftercare for Testicular Prosthesis Implantation

Keep the area clean after surgery to prevent infection.
If the prosthesis area swells or hurts, consult the medical team at once.
Avoid strenuous activity and vigorous exercise for a while and focus on recovery.

What is foreign body removal (Vaseline removal) surgery?

Foreign substances injected for penile enlargement bind to the tissue and cause complications.

Foreign body removal surgery removes them to restore the function and shape of the penis.

Causes of Foreign Body Injection

The average penis length of Korean men is 7.4 cm when flaccid and 11.2 cm when erect, which is a sufficient size for satisfying intercourse.
Nevertheless, some men have foreign material inserted because of a size complex, and this causes pain and problems that must be treated.

Problems Caused by Foreign Body Injection

Injected paraffin, Vaseline and silicone spread through penile tissue, cannot be reversed, and cause complications such as hard lumps, skin necrosis and pus.

In severe cases, fatal complications such as pulmonary embolism may also occur.

Infection and skin necrosis

Frequent infection and inflammation can progress to skin necrosis or ulceration.
Reduced erectile function and pain

If the material spreads down the shaft, erections weaken and pain develops.
Erectile Dysfunction

If it penetrates the corpus cavernosum, erectile dysfunction can result.
serious complications

Lymph node invasion can lead to serious complications such as embolism or malignant tumors.

When foreign material removal is needed

It is needed for infection, pain, erectile dysfunction, deformity, or discomfort during intercourse.

Use of unverified products

Penile injection of products of unproven safety
Skin infection and necrosis

Skin infection, necrosis, or ulceration
Erection-related

Pain and pus during erection, or erectile dysfunction caused by the foreign material
Penis-related

A change in penile color or shape
Other

Discomfort during intercourse due to the injected material

Treatment options

Method, duration, and cost vary by condition, but the principle is to remove all foreign material and deformed tissue.

Simple removal and suture surgery

For small deposits — under 1 cm — the skin is incised, the material alone removed, and the site sutured.The incision follows the circumcision line, so scarring is of little concern.
Excision with skin advancement surgery

When 30–50% of the penile length is involved or skin necrosis is present, suprapubic skin is advanced to replace the missing skin.
Excision with skin graft surgery

When more than half the penis is involved and necrosis is severe, skin from the buttock or thigh is grafted with its dermal layer, replacing lost skin while preserving elasticity.
