Objective:
To build digitized visible model of the adult penis and adjacent structure of the Chinese visible human, providing morphological data for plastic plerosis of external genitals diagnosis and the adult penis surgery planning.
Methods:
Cross-sectional images of fresh tissues from the Chinese visible human dataset and the visible penis and adjacent structure dataset were reviewed, the structures of the penis and adjacent structure were confirmed on a section-by-section basis. Three-dimensional computer reconstructions of the penis and adjacent structure were generated from these data by surface rendering.
Results:
The quality of the computerized 3D-reconstructed images was distinct and perfect. The adult penis and adjacent structure were all reconstructed and displayed jointly. All reconstructed structures can be represented individually or jointly. Any diameter and angle of the structures reconstructed could be measured conveniently.
Conclusions:
The digitized model of the penis and adjacent structure offer unique insights into the complex penis anatomy, providing morphological data for plastic plerosis of external genitals diagnosis and surgery planning.
