Abstract:
The authors report an original technique of glans resection without section of the cavernous bodies. A caverno-cutaneous suture enables a neo-glans to be obtained from the distal, tapering part of the cavernous bodies. This technique is used for small and superficial tumors without lymph nodes and located far enough from the balano-preputial fold.
Insights
This study introduces a novel glans resection technique preserving cavernous bodies, creating a neo-glans via caverno-cutaneous suture. It is suitable for specific small, superficial penile tumors without lymph node involvement.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
Context:
- Penile cancer treatment
- Surgical techniques for penile tumors
Purpose:
- To present an original glans resection technique
- To reconstruct a neo-glans using cavernous bodies
Summary:
- Describes a glans resection method avoiding cavernous body division.
- Utilizes a caverno-cutaneous suture for neo-glans reconstruction.
- Applicable to small, superficial penile tumors without lymphadenopathy, distant from the balano-preputial fold.
Impact:
- Offers a potentially less invasive surgical option for select penile cancer patients.
- Aims to preserve penile function and aesthetics.
- Contributes to the armamentarium of penile reconstructive surgery.
