Abstract: 
This study evaluated the long-term outcome of the Essed-Schroeder procedure for correcting congenital penile curvature using non-absorbable Goretex(TM) sutures. The Essed-Schroeder procedure was performed in 35 patients with congenital ventral penile curvature (minimum 30degrees). Follow-up included a standardized interview with measurement of angulation. Twenty-three of 35 patients were available for complete long-term follow-up (average 34.3 months). The mean preoperative ventral curvature was 54degrees. In 17/23 patients, the penis remained straightened. Recurrent curvature (average 23degrees) was observed in six of 23 patients. Fifteen of 23 patients complained of penile shortening (average 1.8 cm). Two of 23 patients reported disturbing side effects that were caused by plication nodes. In most cases, the results of penile straightening by the Essed-Schroeder procedure are excellent with a high grade of subjective satisfaction. Regarding the main problem, that is recurrent curvature, there is no decisive advantage of applying Goretex(TM) sutures. Discomfort caused by plication nodes can be reduced to a minimum by using a combination of soft Goretex(TM) sutures with the 'inverting stitch-technique'.
