A new plastic surgical technique for adult congenital webbed penis

Objective:To introduce a novel surgical technique for correction of adult congenital webbed penis.Methods:From March 2010 to December 2011,12 patients(age range:14-23 years old) were diagnosed as having a webbed penis and underwent a new surgical procedure designed by us.Results:All cases were treated successfully without severe complication.The operation time ranged from 20 min to 1 h.The average bleeding volume was less than 50 ml.All patients achieved satisfactory cosmetic results after surgery.The penile curvature disappeared in all cases and all patients remained well after 1 to 3 months of follow-up.Conclusions:Adult webbed penis with complaints of discomfort or psychological pressure due to a poor profile should be indicators for surgery.Good corrective surgery should expose the glans and coronal sulcus,match the penile skin length to the penile shaft length dorsally and ventrally,and provide a normal penoscrotal junction.Our new technique is a safe and effective method for the correction of adult webbed penis,which produces satisfactory results.
