A novel "parachute" technique for penile reconstruction after partial penectomy offers improved cosmetic and functional outcomes. This simple modification enhances results for all patients undergoing penile amputation surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Penile carcinoma is a rare but devastating malignancy.
  • Partial penectomy is the standard surgical approach for oncological control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a simple modification to the classic partial penectomy technique.
  • To achieve better cosmetic and functional results after penile amputation.

Main Methods:

  • A modified technique involves ventral urethral spatulation and an inverted "V" skin flap.
  • Suturing is performed in a "parachute" fashion using Vicryl 4-0.
  • The procedure is completed with a Foley catheter and light dressing for 24 hours.

Main Results:

  • The "parachute" technique offers improved aesthetic appearance of the penis.

  • Adequate penile function is maintained post-reconstruction.
  • The technique is applicable to all patients undergoing partial penectomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed "parachute" technique is a simple, effective alternative to complex reconstructive methods.
    • It provides superior cosmetic and functional outcomes compared to the classic technique.
    • This modification benefits all patients undergoing partial penectomy for penile carcinoma.
