Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Penile agenesis is an extremely rare congenital malformation with an incidence of approximately 1 in 30 million live births.
  • The etiology of penile agenesis remains largely unknown.
  • Associated anomalies in the lungs, colon, and urinary tract frequently impact patient prognosis.

Observation:

  • This report details the clinical management of two patients diagnosed with penile agenesis.
  • The study focuses on the therapeutic strategies employed for these rare cases.

Findings:

  • For isolated penile agenesis, the recommended treatment involves primary orchidectomy followed by vaginoplasty and hormonal feminization.
  • The management approach aims to address both the anatomical defect and potential hormonal imbalances.

Implications:

  • This case series contributes to understanding the management of penile agenesis, a condition with significant implications for sexual development and reproductive health.
  • The findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex congenital anomalies.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the causes and optimize long-term outcomes for individuals with penile agenesis.
