Background The suspension of the penis is provided by two ligaments: fundiform and suspensory. These ligaments are sectioned during some augmentative surgical procedures. The structure, the relations and the variability of these ligaments have been demonstrated. The penile neurovascular bundle and its relationships have also been emphasized. A clear knowledge of these details should ensure a reduction of the risk of surgical injury during augmentation procedures. Results We dissected the ligaments providing the suspension of the penis in 7 formalized corpses. We identified, for each of the ligaments, the origin, the insertion and the relations. The dissection pieces were photographed and the images obtained were discussed upon. We described the variability of the anatomical distribution and highlighted the relations with the vascular and nervous structures for each of these ligaments. The anatomical variability of the fascia and the relations with the base of the penis were also emphasized. For the suspensory ligament, we identified three groups of fibers through which it is attached to the penile body. Conclusions The dissections were conducted in layers, corresponding to the operative steps for the penile augmentation procedures. We believe that our study highlights the anatomical basis necessary to safely perform these surgeries. The study contributes to the description of the anatomical variability of the ligaments and logically presents details that contribute to preventing most surgical incidents.

“…The procedure might require the addition of a silicone spacer placed between the penis and the pubis, mainly to prevent the ligaments from reattaching [ 13 ]. The surgical procedures are prone to complications, mainly cosmetic penile deformities, impotence, incontinence or persistent penile pain [ 14 ].…”

Introduction. The suspension of the penis is provided by two ligaments: fundiform and suspensory. These ligaments are sectioned during some augmentative surgical procedures. The structure, the relations and the variability of these ligaments have been demonstrated. The penile neurovascular bundle and its relationships have also been emphasized. A clear knowledge of these details should ensure a reduction of the risk of surgical injury during augmentation procedures. Material and methods. We dissected the ligaments providing the suspension of the penis in 7 formalized corpses. We identified, for each of the ligaments, the origin, the insertion and the relations. The dissection pieces were photographed and the images obtained were discussed upon. Results. We described the variability of the anatomical distribution and highlighted the relations with the vascular and nervous structures for each of these ligaments. The anatomical variability of the fascia and the relations with the baseof the penis were also emphasized. For the suspensory ligament, we identified three groups of fibers through which it is attached to the penile body. Conclusions. The dissections were conducted in layers, corresponding to the operative stepsfor the penile augmentation procedures. We believe that our study highlights the anatomical basis necessary to safely perform these surgeries. The study contributes to the description of the anatomical variability of the ligaments and logically presents details that contribute to preventing most surgical incidents.
