[Partial resection, inner thigh skin graft, and glans reconstruction for early-stage penile cancer: A report of 6 cases].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the optimal methods for the reconstruction and preservation of the glans after partial penis resection in the treatment of early-stage penile cancer. METHODS: Between January 2012 and June 2015, we treated 6 cases of early- stage penile cancer by partial penis resection, inner thigh skin graft, and glans reconstruction and followed them up for 0.5-3 years. RESULTS: The length of the penis before and after operation was ([6.5 ± 1.2] vs [4.5 ± 1.8] cm) in the flaccid state and ([12.8 ± 2.3] vs [9.1 ± 2.1] cm) in the erectile state. The sense of the reconstructed glans was completely recovered at 3 months after surgery. The glans skin was pale red and soft, nearly normal at 12 months, with no obvious graft contracture or scar formation. All the patients achieved normal erection and their partners were satisfied with their intercourse. No recurrence or metastasis was observed. CONCLUSION: The strategy of partial penis resection, inner thigh skin graft and glans reconstruction, simple, effective, and with few complications, is one of the best treatments of early-stage penile cancer, which not only ensures radical removal of the tumor but also maximally reserves the function of the organ.

[A review of operative treatment of hypospadias in twelve years].

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between the operative methods and the therapeutic results of the patients with hypospadias. METHODS: Nine operative types and different tissue materials taken in hypospadias operations in the past 12 years were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The operative types and tissue materials had significantly effects on the therapeutic results besides the clinical experience of the operators. The cure rates of Tunneltron Urethroplasty, Preputial island flap urethroplasty and Bladder mucosa graft urethroplasty were 86.4%, 83.3% and 83.0% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: All the nine types and different tissue materials of Hypospadias operations have its own advantages and disadvantages. They are worth further study and improvement.
