[A new procedure of penoplasty for concealed penis reduces postoperative preputial edema].
摘要
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the advantage of a new procedure of penoplasty by T-shaped incision and three-point fixation (TSI+TPF) in reducing postoperative preputial edema in the treatment of concealed penis. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 244 cases of concealed penis treated in our center between June 2014 and June 2017, 185 by TSI+TPF penoplasty and the other 59 by modified Devine surgery (MDS). We compared the incidence of postoperative preputial edema between the two groups of patients. RESULTS: The incidence rate of preputial edema was obviously lower in the TSI+TPF penoplasty than in the MDS group at 2 (28.1% vs 33.9%) and 4 weeks after surgery (11.4% vs 20.3%), though with no statistically significant difference, and that of moderate to severe edema was significantly lower in the former than in the latter at 4 weeks (1.1% vs 6.8%, P < 0.05). And no long-term residual edema was observed after TSI+TPF penoplasty. CONCLUSIONS: Penoplasty by T-shaped incision and three-point fixation can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative preputial edema, especially that of moderate to severe edema, in the treatment of concealed penis.
