Abstract

The article discusses a technique called "V-I penoscrotal reconfiguration" for the surgical treatment of congenital webbed penis (CWP). The authors propose using scrotal skin for penile shaft reconstruction due to its similar color, thickness, pliability, elasticity, and consistency. However, they caution that the creation of linear scars from this technique can lead to complications such as hypertrophic scars, unsuitable penile curvature, and pain. They suggest further studies with longer follow-ups to assess the risk of complications in younger patients. The authors also mention the use of transposition local flaps harvested from the scrotum as an alternative technique to avoid complications. [Extracted from the article]
