Our experience of penopubic epispadias repair by modified Cantwell-Ransley technique
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
We have operated on penopubic epispadias about 8 cases using modified Cantwell-Ransley technique. Penile reconstruction included wide mobilization of the urethral plate from the underlying corpora based on a mesentery from the ventral penoscrotal skin, corporeal lengthening by dividing the suspensory ligaments and attachments to the undersurface of the pubis, urethral and glandular tubularization, chordee correction by medial incision of the corpora with anastomosis dorsal to the urethra and penile skin coverage. Postoperatively, repairs were intubated with silicone stents for 10 days. Two urethrocutaneous fistulas developed, 1 of which closed spontaneously. One patient had a small degree of penile skin loss that did not affect the neourethra. All patients currently have a cosmetically acceptable penis. In our study the patients age ranged between 15 years minimum age to 21yrs, because our center is a tertiary care hospital so the patients presented to us at elderly age. The low complication rate of this procedure coupled with the better anatomical configuration of the neourethra makes it useful for urethral and penile reconstruction.
