Objective To investigate the anatomical features of congenital chordee without hypospadias in children and to discuss the diagnosis and treatment.Methods From August 1984 to December 2004, 94 children with chordee withouthypospadias treated in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University were classified and analyzed for anatomical alterations. Their ages ranged from 18 months to 13 years (mean 6.9 years). Ninety-four patients were divided into four groups. With intraoperation artificial erection, the patients with penis straightened after degloving were classified as type Ⅰ patients (skin-tethering), those with peins straightened after fibrotic tissue in Buck’s fascia released as type Ⅱ patients (dysgenetic fascia), those with normal urethra and orthoplasty failed after degloving and removing fibrotic tissue as type Ⅲ patients (corporal disproportion), and those with dysgenetic urethra tethering the corpora cavernosa as type Ⅳ patients (short urethra).Results In type Ⅰ (n=31, 32.9%) patients, the ventral skin and dartos fascia were contracted while Buck’s fascia and the urethra was normal, in some (7 cases) scrotal skin extended to the ventral portion of penis (webbed penis). In type Ⅱ (n=45, 47.9%), contracture of Buck’s fascia was evident and the thickening fibrotic tissue constituted the chief obstacle to orthoplasty, though in some skin was shortened. In type Ⅲ (n=6), the dorsal and ventral sides of the corpora cavernosa were disproportionated, and the morphologically normal urethra tightly adhered to the ventral aspect of corpora cavernosa. In some cases ventral skin and fascia were contracted, but orthoplasty could notbe achieved through releasing these layers. In type Ⅳ (n=12, 12.8%), the distal urethra was paper-thin and lacking corpus spongiosum, or dense fibrotic bandswere found to be deep to the urethra. The urethra tethered the corpora cavernosaand formed a bow-to-string relation. The overlying skin and fascia were contracted in varying degrees while none had significance in straightening the penis. After operation, the length of penis increased to 6.9 cm from 5.2 cm on average and the chordee was corrected to 1.6° from 42.6° before operation on average. The patients were followed up 1 months to 15 years. The results were satisfactory.Chordee remained in 2 cases, fistula and urethral stricture occurred in 2 casesrespectively, fistula in association with urethral stricture and diverticulum in 1 case; the operation was given again and the results was satisfactory. Conclusion Patients with chordee without hypospadias may be divided into four types depending on which layer of the ventral penis constitutes thechief contribution to chordee. A systematic approach with repeated artificial erection tests is needed in determining the classification and surgical correction.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the penile ventral scrotum cohesion place wedge cutting and improved Brisson technique for congenital buried penis. Methods Between March 2010 and June 2012, 68 boys with congenital buried penis were treated by the penile ventral scrotum cohesion place wedge cutting and improved Brisson technique, with a median age of 4 years and 10 months (range, 3 months-13 years). Of 68 cases, 14 were classified as phimosis type, 14 as rope belt type, 20 as moderate type, and 20 as severe type. The body of penis developed well and had no deformity. After operation, complications were observed, and the effectiveness was evaluated by the designed questionnaire. Results Early postoperative complications occurred in 11 cases, including obvious adhesion of the outside wrapping mouth in 4 cases, scrotal skin bloat in 5 cases, and distal foreskin necrosis in 2 cases; long-term complications occurred in 9 cases, including abdominal incision scar formation in 4 cases, wrapping mouth scar stricture in 3 cases, and short penis in 2 cases. Primary healing of incision was obtained in the other boys. Fifty-four cases were followed up 6-12 months (mean, 8 months). According to the designed questionnaire, satisfaction rate with the overall view in parents was 77.78% (42/54); the clinical improvement rate was 85.19% (46/54); exposure of the penis was satisfactory in parents of 50 cases; and the parents had no psychological burden of penis exposure in 46 cases, which were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P ﹤ 0.05). The boys had no psychological burden of penis exposure in 29 cases (53.70%) after operation, showing no significant difference when compared with preoperative one (18 cases, 33.33%) (χ2=1.22, P=0.31). Conclusion Application of the penile ventral scrotum cohesion place wedge cutting and improved Brisson technique can effectively correct congenital buried penis.

Objective To document the effect of surgical steps, including penile degloving, plate transection, dorsal plication, and fasciocutaneous coverage, in primary hypospadias repair on penile length. Methods A consecutive series of 209 prepubertal boys with primary hypospadias repair was included with the age ranged from 10 to 97 months (mean, 31.7 months). Intraoperative stretched penile length (SPL) was measured before operation (n=209), and after each step, namely penile degloving (n=152), plate transection (n=139), dorsal plication (n=170), and fasciocutaneous coverage (n=209). SPLs before and after each steps or the entire operation were analyzed. The SPL was compared between plate transection group and plate preservation group, dorsal plication group and non-plication group, and plate preservation with plication group and plate preservation without plication group, respectively. Differences of SPL between before and after each steps were analyzed with factors including neourethra length, rest dorsal penile length, rest ventral penile length, preoperative SPL, and the degree of penile curvature after penile degloving, with multivariate linear regression analysis. ResultsAll the four steps resulted in SPL difference. The SPL increased after penile degloving and plate transection (P<0.05), and decreased after dorsal plication and fasciocutaneous coverage (P<0.05). The SPL increased after all steps were completed (P<0.05). In patients with plate transection, postoperative SPL increased when compared with that before operation (P<0.05). No significant difference was noted in patients without plate transection (P>0.05). And there was significant difference in the increased length of SPL between patients with and without plate transection (P<0.05). In patients with dorsal plication, a significant increase of postoperative SPL (P<0.05) was noted. No significant difference was noted in patients without dorsal plication (P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in increased length between patients with and without dorsal plication (P>0.05). When patients with plate transection were excluded, dorsal plication resulted in no significant difference on postoperative SPL (P>0.05). The increased length of SPL after penile degloving, dorsal plication, or cutanofascial coverage was not related to the neourethra length, the rest dorsal penile length, the rest ventral penile length, the preoperative SPL, and the degree of penile curvature (P>0.05). However, the neourethra length and preoperative SPL were the influencing factors for the increased length of SPL after plate transection (P<0.05). ConclusionThe main steps in primary hypospadias repair can change SPL. The lengthening effect of plate transection would not be counteracted by dorsal plication. Dorsal plication makes no significant difference on postoperative SPL.

Objective To explore an effective method to repair penile-scrotal or perineal hypospadias in one stage with prepuce island flap.Methods Different prepuce island flaps were designed according to thedifferent pathological anatomy of the penile-scrotal or perineal hypospadias. The prepuce island flaps were thus translocated and sutured to form the urethra.Thirty-one cases of hypospadias (21 cases of peinil-scrotal type, 10 cases of perineal type) were repaired with prepuce island flap.The biggest length and the width of the prepuce island flapwere 7.5 cm and 1.5-1.8 cm respectively.Results All the cases resulted in a good contour of the penis and a normal anatomic position of urethral meatus without any redundancy or tortuosity.The urination was perfect and acceptable.Conclusion One stage repair of penilescrotal or perineal hypospadias with prepuce island flap can be considered as an acceptable effective surgical technique.
Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of concealed penis in children. Methods From August 1998 to January 2004, 43 cases of concealed penis in children were treated with Huang Lugang’s procedure aging aged 2-14 years (7 years on average). Eight children are obesity. The albuginea tissue were fixed to the lateral Buck’s fascia at the base of the penis. Removal of the excessive suprapublic fat was given in 2 cases of obesity type. Results All patients were followed up from 3to 24 months. The results were satisfactory in 35 (81.4%).The penile contour were dissatisfactory in 8 patients with obesity including 2 patients given removal of the excessive suprapublic fat. Conclusion The Huang Lugang’s procedure was simple and can achieved satisfactory results, but it should be used carefully in case of obesity type.
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of sural nerve bridging transplantation for the restoration of penis disturbance of sensation after selective dorsal nerve neurotomy. Methods Between May 2014 and May 2016, 23 patients underwent sural nerve bridging transplantation for the restoration of penis disturbance of sensation after selective dorsal nerve neurotomy. The age ranged from 19 to 38 years (mean, 27 years). The course of disease was 1-28 months (mean, 14 months). The defect length was 1.0-1.5 cm. Preoperative main neurological sign was sensory disturbance. The chief complaint of 21 patients was a erectile dysfunction; all had normal hormone levels, and there was no other organic diseases or surgical contraindication. According to the self-assessment lists of symptom-SCL90 evaluation, 19 cases had depression, 16 cases had anxiety, and 15 cases had both anxiety and depression; 3 cases had psychological abnormalities (social barriers, etc.). According to the functional neurological evaluation standard of British Medical Research Institute, the static two-point discrimination and sensation recovery standard rating were evaluated before and after operation; sexual pleasure obstacle sensitivity, temperature sense, and other subjective improvement were recorded. The International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) was used to evaluate questionnaire of the patient with erectile dysfunction before and after operation. The psychological state was accessed with the self-assessment lists of symptom-SCL90 evaluation after operation. Results All incisions healed by first intention. The mean follow-up time was 8 months (range, 6-12 months). Sexual pleasure obstacle was obviously improved in 11 cases, partially improved in 5 cases; the improvements in temperature and tactile sensitivity were achieved in 21 cases; no obvious improvement was observed in 1 case. The sensation recovery standard rating, static two-point discrimination and grade of IIEF-5 were significantly improved at 3 and 6 months after operation when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05). At 6 months after operation, symptom was improved in 14 of 19 patients with depression (73.68%), in 12 of 16 patients with anxiety (75.00%), and in 12 of 15 patients with anxiety and depression(80.00%). Conclusion Sural nerve bridging transplantation is an effective method for the restoration of penis disturbance of sensation after selective dorsal nerve neurotomy.
