Balanitis xerotica obliterans.

A A Khezri, A Dounis, M Dunn

    British Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Balanitis xerotica obliterans treatment varies by affected area. Circumcision is best for foreskin-only cases, while meatal stenosis requires dilatation or surgical options. Urethral strictures proximal to the fossa navicularis are not linked to this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the glans penis and foreskin.
    • It can lead to significant morbidity, including meatal stenosis and urethral strictures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review treatment outcomes for patients with balanitis xerotica obliterans.
    • To determine the efficacy of different interventions based on the extent of BXO involvement.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 20 patients with histologically confirmed balanitis xerotica obliterans.
    • Analysis of treatment modalities and patient progress based on clinical presentation.

    Main Results:

    • Circumcision demonstrated optimal results for BXO limited to the foreskin.

  • Meatal stenosis cases responded well to meatal dilatation, meatotomy, and meatoplasty.
  • No evidence linked proximal urethral strictures to BXO.

    • Conclusions:

    • Treatment for balanitis xerotica obliterans should be tailored to the specific site and severity of the condition.
    • Surgical and non-surgical interventions can effectively manage BXO-related complications.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the etiology of associated urethral strictures.
