Phalloplasty following penectomy for penile cancer
© 2022 Editorial Office of Asian Journal of Urology. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V..
Objective: Penile reconstruction or phalloplasty following penectomy can be offered where the functional penile length is inadequate for a man to void while standing or to have sexual intercourse. Phalloplasty is usually staged due to the complex surgical techniques required. This narrative review describes the technical concepts and summarises the contemporary outcomes following phalloplasty in this challenging cohort.
Methods: A retrospective review of the English literature was performed between January 1946 till November 2021. The data were synthesised and complemented by the expert opinion of the authors with 20 years of experience in this field. The flaps are ideally designed with an integrated urethra or alternatively, a further free flap urethroplasty can be offered. Phalloplasty is further complicated following penectomy by scarring from the previous surgery and the potential loss of structures that would normally be present at the recipient site.
Results: There are limited published data with a total of 19 men recorded in the literature. Only the radial artery forearm free flap and anterolateral thigh flap have been described in this cohort of patients. Functional outcomes including standing micturition, sensation in the neophallus, and the ability to orgasm are good. Overall quality of life and satisfaction was also good despite the high risk for long-term complications of the neophallus and donor site.
Conclusion: Phalloplasty following penectomy requires microsurgical transfer of a free flap or a pedicled flap to reconstruct a neophallus. An erectile device is inserted at a later stage to facilitate sexual intercourse, if desired. Surgical scarring from penectomy and the potential loss of vasculature that would normally be present at the recipient site may further complicate reconstruction. Surgical and functional outcomes are acceptable based on the limited published experience to date.
