Background:Congenital curvature of the penis results from abnormal efflorescence of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa and not accompanied with urethral anomaly. Complex Congenital curvature of the penis has two abnormal elements : mal-rotation either clockwise or anti clockwise and curvature of the penis either dorsal or ventral. Aim of the work: To present update in management of congenital curvature complex of the penis. Background: Congenital curvature of the penis results from abnormal efflorescence of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa and not accompanied with urethral anomaly. Complex Congenital curvature of the penis has two abnormal elements: mal-rotation either clockwise or anti clockwise and curvature of the penis either dorsal or ventral.  Aim of the work: To present update in management of congenital curvature complex of the penis. Patients and Methods:This prospective study done at Al-Azhar University Hospital in Damietta. Fifteen patients [15] with congenital curvature complex of the penis were evaluated and corrected from June. 2019 to January 2020, their mean age was 5.1 ± 2.34 years [range 2–10 year]. The direction of torsion was anticlockwise in 12 patients and in 3 patients was clockwise. Four patients had dorsal curvature and Eight patients had ventral curvature, while three patients had lateral curvature. All patients treated at first by modified Nesbit's procedure for correction of curvature, then dorsal flap of dartos layer for correction of penile torsion in one stage. Results: All cases with congenital curvature complex of the penis corrected in one-set surgery, which is simple, familiar and safe procedure with high successful rate. There were only a few transient complications, such as edema, mild bleeding, and penile hematoma resolved spontaneously. No recurrence of mal-rotation or curvature reported. Conclusion: Congenital Penile Curvature Complex can be treated in single-stage surgery with excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes by combination of modified Nesbit's procedure with dorsal flap of dartos layer. Patients and Methods:This prospective study done at Al-Azhar University Hospital in Damietta.
