Glansectomy and Split-thickness Skin Graft for Penile Cancer

Surgical managements of pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis: A case report

“…Most previous studies recommend the topical therapy, but in countries where such agent is not available, wide excision may be considered such as partial penectomy [11]. Among the recent reports of penile cancer, glansectomy with STSG for tumors confined in the glans penis has been reported to have excellent results in terms of cosmetic or functional outcomes [9]. Another surgical option is resurfacing using the property of easy to be peeled off if the patient wants to preserve his glans penis.…”

“…Glansectomy with STSG was performed using the method reported by Parnham et al [9]. During the operation, a frozen section from the urethral meatus was confirmed to be free from the remnant lesion.…”

Skin grafting for penile skin loss

“…When meshing is performed on the penis, it is usually at a ratio of 1.5:1 to 2:1, although the use of nonexpanded 1:1 meshing has been suggested as a way to achieve appealing cosmesis while preserving other benefits of meshing [12] . Failure, n (%) Bedrest (days) Parnham et al [21] (2018)…”

Recent advances in the management of penile cancer

“…Procedures such as glansectomy with split-thickness skin grafting and partial penile amputation with urethral centralisation have allowed good oncological disease control with improved functional and cosmetic outcomes for patients 29 . Techniques such as urethral centralisation and neo-glans formation following partial penectomy are examples of further attempts to reduce the psychological morbidity of partial penectomy by recreating a glans and placing the urethra in a location to mimic the original anatomy prior to surgery 30 .…”
