Summary
Penile reconstruction after total amputation is possible through microsurgical reimplantation. This single-stage surgery restores function, appearance, and sensation, offering patients full rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Microsurgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Penile amputation, though rare, necessitates comprehensive reconstruction for optimal patient rehabilitation.
- Single-stage surgical approaches are preferred for complete restoration of penile structures.
Observation:
- A case of total penile amputation successfully treated with microsurgical reimplantation is presented.
- The procedure involved microsurgical sutures for arteries, veins, nerves, and the urethra.
Findings:
- Eight months post-surgery, the patient exhibited normal penile appearance and function.
- Key outcomes included good urine flow, absence of urethral stricture, erectile capability, and near-normal sensitivity.
Implications:
- Microsurgical penile reimplantation offers a viable solution for total penile amputation.
- This technique facilitates full functional and aesthetic rehabilitation, significantly improving patient quality of life.
