Abstract
|
|
|
Although traumatic amputation of the penis is an unusual accident, its occurrence at any time will be catastrophic on psychology.
Aside from its sexual aspect the loss of the phallus incurs a definite handicap when attempting to void in the normal position.
With the nerves intact in the stump and with testicles present, both sensory and hormonal factors remain and titilation of the remnant cavernous bodies can result in a sexual impetus to the extent of pollution and ejaculation. The patient is not necessarily sterile although the modus apprandi for the transmission of sperm through the pendulous urethra is missing.
We will report herein a case of penis reconstruction in a boy who had traumatic amputation of penis at 5-day-old age. We used abdominal tube flap for construction of penis and rid cartilage for rigidity of the reconstructed penis by 4-stage-procedures.
After all procedures were over, he could not only void satisfactorilly in the normal position, but also have long and rigid penis enough to be able to have coitus.
