Abdominal flap for penis augmentation in extrophy-epispadia complex: A case report
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The exstrophy-epispadias complex is a rare and difficult to treat condition, whose best management involves the participation of multidisciplinary teams. Because those patients’ penis is short, with a broad basis and, usually, with dorsal chordee, there is an important demand to improve its esthetical appearance and to enlarge it. We present the case of a patient who underwent the construction of an abdominal wall flap that considerably improved the penile appearance and enlarged it by approximately 4 cm.
