Introduction: The subcoronal approach is the most widely used skin degloving procedure for corporoplasty. Although it is relatively easy and it fully exposes the corpora cavernosa, it is not free from several complications (subcoronal lymphedema, decrease of glans sensitivity, paraphimosis, distal skin necrosis), which sometimes require a postoperative circumcision, or a preoperative prophylactic circumcision.

Aim: To describe our own degloving approach, the "Trans-scrotal Penile Degloving (TPD)", that is suitable for most corporoplasties, and to present the outcomes.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis conducted on 89 patients (pts) presenting with different penile diseases, and submitted to the TPD during Corporoplasty, from February 2008 to July 2010: Congenital curvature (26 pts); Peyronie's Disease (PD) with penile curvature (18 pts); PD with erectile dysfunction and curvature (25 pts); Redo surgery with complex tunica albuginea remodeling and prosthesis implant (20 pts). The TPD approach calls for a 5 cm incision to be placed ventrally on the scrotal raphe at the penile base: penile degloving is then easily carried out up to the coronal line. Subsequently, the dorsal neurovascular bundle is normally isolated and all types of different corporoplasties can be carried out.

Results: Any complication occurring during or after surgery has been registered. Patient follow-up controls were performed on day 7, month 1 and month 3 post-surgery: -No pre- or post-operative circumcision procedures were required; -There was no evidence of post-operative preputial edema or penile skin necrosis or loss of glans sensitivity; -In 6 patients, we noted a mild scrotal sub-dartos hematoma, which reabsorbed spontaneously.

Conclusions: TPD, which represents an evolution of our previous combined subcoronal-trans-scrotal approach, may be advantageously performed in most corporoplasties with optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes, and may replace in many cases the subcoronal approach without its associated complications.

BACKGROUND Perineal injuries affecting the scrotum and penis are rare in pediatric patients, owing to the protective anatomy of the male genitalia. However, when such injuries do occur, timely surgical intervention is crucial. This kind of damage might not be life-threatening but could cause functional disorders and have a huge impact on the patients' psychological condition if not treated appropriately, especially as they enter puberty.

Impact of the timing of surgery on the recovery of sexual functions after fracture penis.

Med J Armed Forces India

Classified Specialist (Surgery), 159 General Hospital, C/O 56 APO, India.

Background: Fracture penis is an uncommon urological emergency, which often results from sexual trauma. Diagnosis remains clinical, and early surgical management is advocated. However, the timing of the repair may have a bearing on the outcomes.

Death by collision with an incoming train is common in countries where a railroad network exists. In such cases, when there is severe pelvic trauma, the penis may be partially degloved and turned inside out. The inverted penile skin may then resemble a vulva and the scrotum may mimic labia majora, causing the injured male genitalia to strongly resemble female genitalia.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on enhancing the transverse preputial island flap (TPIF) surgery technique for severe hypospadias repairs by introducing a modified urethral anastomosis method called wide-based oblique anastomosis (WOA).
  • Data was gathered from 72 patients who underwent this modified procedure, showing a 20.8% complication rate, primarily involving fistulas and urethral diverticula, but no instances of urethral stricture occurred.
  • The findings suggest that the WOA technique is a simple and effective approach that improves the surgical outcomes and reduces the risk of specific postoperative complications.

Dissociated urethral plate Onlay and standard Onlay urethroplasty for mid-distal hypospadias: A comparative study.

J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg

November 2024

Department of Urology, Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Jiangsu Provincial Children's Medical Center, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. Electronic address:

Background: Urethral plate (UP) reserved Onlay urethroplasty is currently used widely in mid-distal hypospadias. However, for children with 15-30° residual curvature after degloving, only dorsal tunica albuginea plication is performed to correct penile ventral curvature (VC), and long-term follow-up showed a high recurrence rate of penile curvature. We developed a modified Onlay urethroplasty, which dissociates the UP and completely removes the tissue beneath the UP to fully correct penile curvature.
