Abstract

To report experience and results with penile disassembly in hypospadias repair. From November 1995 to May 1997 penile disassembly was used in 92 patients aged from 9 months to 32 years. The indications for operation were hypospadias with severe penile curvature (especially with curvature in the distal third of the corpora cavernosa), chordee without hypospadias, and small penis with hypospadias. The technique involves separating the penis into its component parts, i.e. the glans cap with neurovascular bundle dorsally, together with the undivided or divided urethra and urethral plate ventrally, and the corpora cavernosa. The manoeuvre allows any curvature to be corrected, especially when in the distal third of the corporal bodies, glans tilt to be rectified, and the penis to be enlarged, particularly elongated, which is a significant gain in small penises with hypospadias. The patients were followed for 3-20 months (mean 14); the penis was straightened in all cases, with no recurrence of curvature. In 37 patients (40%) penile disassembly combined with extensive urethral mobilization resolved the hypospadiac meatus with no need to form a neourethra; the penis was larger after surgery. Complications were related to urethroplasty a...Continue Reading
