Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Microsurgery
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Microsurgical phallic reconstruction is a complex procedure for congenital anomalies or acquired defects.
  • Indications include trauma, accidents, developmental issues, and micropenis in pediatric and adolescent males.

Observation:

  • The study reviewed 16 cases of microsurgical phallic reconstruction over 10 years.
  • Patients included 7 prepubertal boys, 4 adolescent boys, and 5 young adults (18-24 years).

Findings:

  • The single-stage procedure involved tissue transfer, urethral reconstruction, nerve coaptation, and aesthetic refinement.
  • Postpubertal patients regained erogenous sensibility and the ability to masturbate.

Implications:
