GLANULOPLASTY WITH ORAL MUCOSA GRAFT FOLLOWING TOTAL GLANS PENIS AMPUTATION: AN OVERVIEW

Abstract

Glanuloplasty following amputation of the glans penis can be very daunting for the urologist. The management of penile glans amputation depends on the duration before presentation. In the acute phase, management usually involves auto-transplantation. The use of skin grafts, scrotal flaps and pedicled myocutaneous flaps have been described for penile glans reconstruction following amputation of the glans penis. However, these techniques are fraught with their own peculiar challenges. This chapter is an overview of the management of penile glans amputation and a description of the technique of neo-glans reconstruction using oral mucosa graft.
