[Anatomy correction of penile epispadias].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the pathological characters and anatomic correction of penile epispadias.

METHODS:

The urethra was formed by local urethra plate mucosa flaps. The contracture on dorsum of penis was released by cutting off the superficial suspensory ligament to reposition the penile and urethral sponge.

RESULTS:

From Jun. 2004 to Dec. 2010, 26 cases with penile epispadias were treated. 18 cases were followed up for 6 months to 5 years. 10 cases were treated successfully with good cosmetic and functional results. Urinary incontinence happened in 8 cases, which healed after tightening operation.

CONCLUSIONS:

The anatomic correction of penile epispadias can recover the normal anatomic structure, resulting good cosmetic and functional results.
