Penile replantation: report of two cases and review of the literature

Abstract

【Abstract】Penile amputation and successful re-plantation is very uncommon, and there is no routine stan-dardized procedures for dealing with this medical condition. Here we report two cases of penile amputation and replan-tation involving different degrees of vascular insult leading to different pathogenesis, clinical presentation, surgical approach and prognosis. This report described the micro-surgical procedure and postoperative care using bipedicled scrotal flap to achieve successful engraftment and function. A review of the published data and future methods to in-crease success of such surgical procedures is provided. Key words: Penis; Amputation, traumatic; Replantation; Surgical flaps
