Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Lymphedema Management

Background:

  • Genital lymphedema can arise years after pelvic surgeries like partial penectomy and lymphadenectomy.
  • Long-term sequelae of such procedures can significantly impact patient quality of life.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old male presented with significant, long-standing genital volume increase affecting the penis and scrotum.
  • The patient had a history of partial penectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy 26 years prior, indicating a chronic condition.

Findings:

  • Surgical management involved complete bilateral scrotal excision (including testicles) and amputation of the penile remnant.
  • The urethra was successfully anastomosed to the scrotal skin at the base, with a satisfactory post-operative outcome.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for severe aesthetic and psychological distress in patients with genital lymphedema.
  • Effective surgical rehabilitation is achievable, improving outcomes for individuals with this challenging condition.
