Objective: To explore the effects of the combined method of abdominal axial flap transposition and penile elongation for the treatment of the remnant penis.
Methods: Fifty-two cases of the remnant penis treated with the combined method from 1984 April to February 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. Follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 20 years postoperatively.
Results: The lengths (both in normal and erectile conditions) and the circumferences of the penis gained after operation were (5.6 +/- 1.4) cm, (6.8 +/- 2.5 cm and (6.9 +/- 2.3) cm respectively. The recovery rates of the sensory function were 94.2% and 100% in the glans (immediately and 3 months after operation) and 32.7%, 51.9% and 75% in the flap area (3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively). The two-point distinguishing sense in the glans and the flap area was (5.1 +/- 0.9) mm and(7.9 +/- 1.3) mm 5 years after operation. Early complications included distant flap necrosis (3 cases), disruption of the wound (2 cases), part necrosis of the skin graft in the abdominal wall (2 cases) and poor contours occurred in 4 cases in the later period because of the thickness of the flaps. All of them were corrected with satisfactory results.
Conclusion: The combined method of abdominal axial flap transposition and penile elongation was recommendable for the treatment of the remnant penis because of its positive effects and less complications.

Spectrum and the management of glanular-preputial adhesions after ritual male circumcision.
BMC Urol
December 2024
Pediatric Surgery Dept, Al-Azhar university, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Complications after male circumcision are numerous and may be presented as an adhesion between the glans penis and the preputial remnants, these adhesions may acquire different forms and troublesome the affected children.
Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 95 consecutive children of presumed glanular-preputial adhesions referred for correction of circumcision. They were assessed and classified as having either an early preputial adhesion or a well-formed skin bridge into 2 groups; group (A) who have a simple adhesion that was resolved through a conservative preputial adhesiolysis while those in the group (B) had a well-formed skin bridge, which deserves surgical correction.
Comparison of postoperative urinary complications in laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty versus posterior sagittal anorectoplasty for anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula.

Article Synopsis
- This study compared long-term urinary outcomes after two surgical methods—laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty (LAARP) and posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP)—in patients with anorectal malformations (ARM).
- Out of 45 patients treated from 2001 to 2022, those in the LAARP group experienced remnant fistulas and neurogenic bladder dysfunction, while PSARP patients had issues like urethral injury; all complications were managed effectively.
- Key findings suggest that preoperative assessments, especially regarding rectourethral anatomy, and careful surgical techniques are crucial in minimizing complications, particularly those linked to underlying spinal anomalies.

Article Synopsis
- - Femininizing gender affirmation surgery involves constructing external female genitalia, including a new clitoris, labia, and vagina, while removing certain penile parts like the glans and urethral remnants.
- - A study conducted from March 2021 to February 2023 involved 41 patients (average age 30.5) undergoing penile microvascular dissection followed by vaginoplasty, with follow-up results showing preserved corpora cavernosa and satisfactory outcomes for all patients.
- - The findings suggest that the preserved penile structures, including the corpora cavernosa and urethral remnants, could potentially be utilized for live-donor penile transplantation in the future.
