Dr Christian diagnoses Peyronie’s disease when Ambulance technician Keith comes to the clinic. Realising the severity of this particular case Dr Christian sees surgery as the only option, and refers Keith on to a urological surgeon who he hopes can straighten things out. Keith meets consultant urological surgeon Mr. Paul Anderson to discuss options. With advice from his surgeon Keith opts for a Nesbitt’s procedure which removes tissue from the unaffected side of the penis so that things balance out when sewn back up, even if slightly shorter. After a two-hour procedure Keith’s penis is corrected, with Dr Christian recommending that he waits a few months before seeking further treatment for his excess foreskin.

Patient Name: Keith Roberts
Condition: Peyronie’s Disease
Specialist: Mr. Paul Anderson, Consultant Urological Surgeon

The bend will be really significant and there may be a harder area around the bend. Worth asking your GP if youre worried

I have had this condition for sometime now and being told by my GP nothing can be done ,this has now given me the encentive to go back and query that decision as pyronies obviously can be treated as seen on your show which has given me hope that maybe I could have successful surgery Many Thanks
