Penile and scrotal lymphedema surgery offers a new technique for reconstruction. This approach successfully restored penile function and improved aesthetics without skin grafts.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Lymphedema Management

Background:

  • Penile and scrotal lymphedema causes severe physical deformity and psychological distress.
  • The condition significantly impairs sexual function and mobility.

Observation:

  • A novel surgical technique for penile-scrotal lymphedema was applied to a 32-year-old male patient.
  • The procedure involved W-plasty incisions, excision of lymphedematous tissue, and reconstruction using preputial mucosa and adjacent healthy skin.
  • Scrotal reconstruction utilized butterfly-wing skin flaps, with careful isolation of the testicles and spermatic cord.

Findings:

  • The surgical variation eliminated the need for free or vascularized skin grafts.
  • The patient experienced a recovery of penile functional capacity and improved aesthetics.
