Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Patient desire for increased penile size impacts confidence.
  • Surgical penile girth augmentation methods carry significant risks.
  • Dermofat grafts and SEPA flaps are surgical options for penile girth enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and complications of penile girth augmentation using dermofat grafts and SEPA flaps.
  • To highlight surgical techniques, complications, and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Ten patients underwent penile girth augmentation between June 2016 and March 2022.
  • Procedures included dermofat grafts (6 patients) and SEPA flaps (4 patients).
  • Patient selection based on Augmentation Phalloplasty Patient Selection and Satisfaction Inventory (APPSSI) score (2-6 pre-operatively).

Main Results:

  • Girth increase ranged from 1.9 to 2.6 cm after 6 months.
  • A 50% complication rate was observed, including skin loss, urinary obstruction, and fat necrosis.
  • Complications were more frequent in uncircumcised patients and those seeking excessive augmentation.

Conclusions:

  • Dermofat grafts and SEPA flaps can provide appreciable girth increase in selected patients.
  • Patient awareness of potential surgical complications is crucial.
  • Careful patient selection and informed consent are essential for managing expectations and risks.
