Replantation following complete penile amputation: Summary of perioperative experience and treatment strategies

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: To date, there are only case reports of penile amputation, a rare urological emergency with a low-treatment successful rate, and there are still no advanced, detailed surgical or perioperative treatment plans. Effective treatments for these rare diseases are urgently needed. METHOD: The researchers summarized the perioperative experience of 20 patients who underwent replantation after complete penile amputation at several hospitals over the past 5 years and shared experience in detail. RESULTS: Only 1 of the 20 surgeries failed, and both urinary and erectile functions were successfully restored in other cases, indicating that the surgical methods and perioperative treatments summarized by researchers are feasible and highly successful for replantation following complete penile amputation. CONCLUSION: Researchers have summarized the method and perioperative plan for replantation following penile amputation based on a summary of 20 cases, thereby providing guidance for urologists and andrologists.
