Summary
This study introduces a novel flap technique for penile girth augmentation, offering a durable and symmetrical alternative to existing methods. The superficial circumflex iliac artery island flap procedure resulted in significant and stable girth enhancement.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Plastic Surgery
Background:
- Current penile girth augmentation methods like liposuction/fat grafts have limitations including size regression, deformities, and asymmetry.
- An ideal augmentation technique should provide durability and symmetry.
Observation:
- A superficial circumflex iliac artery island flap was successfully utilized for penile girth augmentation in a case study.
- The flap was harvested, rotated, tunneled, and wrapped around the penis, including under the glans.
Findings:
- The patient achieved a stable erect girth of 19.5 cm and flaccid girth of 16.5 cm, a significant increase from pre-operative measurements.
- Post-operative assessment showed a smooth contour without lobulation and proportionate glans size.
Implications:
- Flap-based penile girth augmentation presents a promising alternative to current techniques, potentially offering improved aesthetic and functional outcomes.
- Glans flaring techniques can enhance aesthetic results and may be combined with other penile augmentation methods.
