Penoscrotal transposition with hypospadias: 1-stage repair.

Abstract

A 1-stage surgical repair of penoscrotal transposition with hypospadias is described. The basic principles are correction of hypospadias with the best vascularized island penile skin flap used for a new urethra and 2 vascularized sliding skin flaps used for reconstruction of the penile skin, and transposition of the penis to the suprascrotal position in the area of the mons pubis, with mobilization plus midline testicular fixation (inter-orchiopexy) and scrotoplasty. This technique was applied in 42 patients 2 to 9 years old between 1986 and 1991. The complications were 2 urethral stenoses on the proximal anastomosis (1 was treated successfully by urethrotomy and 1 by an open operation) and 2 fistulas (successfully treated by surgery), while 2 patients required additional correction of penoscrotal transposition.
