Introduction:
To date, there are only case reports of penile amputation, a rare urological emergency with a low-treatment successful rate, and there are still no advanced, detailed surgical or perioperative treatment plans. Effective treatments for these rare diseases are urgently needed.
Method:
The researchers summarized the perioperative experience of 20 patients who underwent replantation after complete penile amputation at several hospitals over the past 5 years and shared experience in detail.
Results:
Only 1 of the 20 surgeries failed, and both urinary and erectile functions were successfully restored in other cases, indicating that the surgical methods and perioperative treatments summarized by researchers are feasible and highly successful for replantation following complete penile amputation.
Conclusion:
Researchers have summarized the method and perioperative plan for replantation following penile amputation based on a summary of 20 cases, thereby providing guidance for urologists and andrologists.
Insights
Penile amputation is a rare emergency. A new surgical approach and perioperative plan for penile replantation in 20 cases showed a high success rate, restoring urinary and erectile functions.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Andrology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Penile amputation is a rare urological emergency.
- Limited advanced surgical and perioperative treatment plans exist.
- Effective treatments for penile amputation are urgently needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize surgical methods and perioperative plans for penile replantation.
- To provide guidance for urologists and andrologists treating penile amputation.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 20 patients who underwent penile replantation.
- Analysis of surgical techniques and perioperative management over 5 years.
Main Results:
- High success rate (19 out of 20 cases) for penile replantation.
- Successful restoration of both urinary and erectile functions in most cases.
- Demonstrated feasibility and efficacy of the summarized approach.
Conclusions:
- The summarized surgical method and perioperative plan are effective for penile replantation.
- This approach offers guidance for managing penile amputation cases.
- Successful replantation can restore critical patient functions.
