Surgical correction of penoscrotal transposition with hypospadias: experience with 83 cases / 中华男科学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the techniques of surgical correction of penoscrotal transposition with hypospadias.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively studied 83 cases of penoscrotal transposition with hypospadias treated by surgery from January 2003 to June 2009, and analyzed the surgical techniques and follow-up results.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients underwent urethroplasty with simultaneous or staged surgical correction of penoscrotal transposition. Postoperative follow-up was conducted for 0.5-5 years. Eighty-one of the patients were satisfied with the appearance of the reconstructed penis and scrotum, and satisfactory outcomes were achieved in the other 2 with severe hypospadias after a second surgical correction of penoscrotal transposition.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Urethroplasty with simultaneous or staged surgical correction of penoscrotal transposition is recommendable for its resultant penile straightness, desirable penoscrotal appearance, good surgical prognosis and few postoperative complications.</p>
