A skin bridge is visible by the glans. A skin bridge is a penile skin adhesion.It most commonly occurs as a consequence of an improperly healed circumcision, being formed when the inner lining of the remaining foreskin attaches to another part of the penis (normally the glans) as the cut heals. [1]
For newborn males with penoscrotal defects such as webbed penis, a condition in which the penile shaft is attached to the scrotum, scrotoplasty can be performed to restore normal appearance and function. [4] For older male adults, the scrotum may extend with age. [4] Scrotoplasty or scrotal lift can be performed to remove the loose, excess skin.
In sex reassignment surgeries, a new penis is formed with the use of a penile implant surrounded with a tissue flap. [11] The pump unit of inflatable penile implants resembles a human testicle and can serve as an artificial testicle for concomitant scrotoplasty. [12] Initially, standard penile implants were used in phalloplasty procedures.
Chordee release is the cutting of ventral penile skin and connective tissue to free and straighten the penis. A mild chordee, manifest as a well-formed penis "bent" downward by subcutaneous connective tissue, may be an isolated birth defect easily repaired by releasing some of the inelastic connective tissue on the ventral side of the shaft.
Surgical methods of foreskin restoration, known as foreskin reconstruction, usually involve a method of grafting skin onto the distal portion of the penile shaft. The grafted skin is typically taken from the scrotum, which contains the same smooth muscle (known as dartos fascia) as does the skin of the penis. One method involves a four-stage ...
Surgical restoration involves grafting skin taken from the scrotum onto a portion of the penile shaft. Nonsurgical methods involve tissue expansion by stretching the penile skin forward over the glans penis with the aid of tension. Nonsurgical restoration is the preferred method as it is less costly and typically yields better results than ...
Genital reconstructive surgery may refer to: Clitoridectomy, any surgery to reduce or remove tissue from the clitoris; Foreskin restoration, a process of expanding penile skin to mimic the foreskin; Hypospadias, surgery to modify the location of the urinary outlet on a phallus
The penile implants are used in cisgender men to treat erectile dysfunction, and in transgender men during female-to-male sex reassignment surgery. Although the same penile implant has been used for both cisgender and transgender men, specialized penile implants for transgender men were recently developed by Zephyr Surgical Implants ...
