disease. Endoscopic biopsy of the membranous and prostatic urethra was normal. A circumcision incision is made. The penis is degloved. 3cm wide dorsal penile skin is preserved with its underlying dartos tissue. Both the corpora cavernosa with urethra are excised. After oncological clearance neo urethra is constructed. The proximal membranous urethra is identified. The flap of dorsal penile skin with dartos is tubularised over a catheter, rotated down to the perineum and then anastomosed to membranous urethra.RESULTS: We have performed this new technique in 5 patients. All 5 patients voided well through the neourethral opening. The mortality of squamous cell carcinoma is high. With our new technique, patients have a quality voiding. Two patients died due to local recurrence within 6 months. One patient required DVIU for anastomotic narrowing.CONCLUSIONS: Our new technique of penile skin flap neourethra after radical penile amputation allows patients to void from the perineum and are continent. It gives an option for those who refuse ileal conduit and provides better quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
