Staged urethroplasty is performed to treat long-segment obliterating anterior urethral strictures. The technique is particularly challenging when the penobulbar junction is involved, as it requires the transection of the scrotum and the formation of lateral testicular fans. To date, there is no established surgical protocol for this ancillary technique in large volume scrotums with excess skin. We report a case of staged urethroplasty with the necessity of performing T-scrotoplasty due to bulky scrotum. After six months, the T-plasty was successfully resolved, and a new scrotum was formed from the two hemiscrota. In conclusion, scrotoplasty using a bilateral T-plasty is an excellent technique to overcome the necessity of splitting the scrotum by externalizing the urethra to allow for excellent buccal mucosal graft healing over a period of six months. The two separate testicular fans can be reapproximated along the raphe after re-tubularizing the urethra in the 2nd stage, shaping a new scrotum with satisfactory cosmetic results.
