Abstract

Penis necrosis secondary to circumcision by an electrical scalpel in a 2 years and 2 months-old boy occurred. After healing of the electric burn only stumps of the erectile bodies and strictured urethral meatus remained. The penis shaft reconstruction by corpora mobilisation and by detachment of the crura from the pubo-ischial rami was effected. This procedure gained 6 cm of a new length of the penis. To prevent readhesions to the puboischial rami the penis was buried in a scrotal tunnel. Six months later the denuded shaft was resurfaced with one split thickness skin graft and a zigzag seam on the ventral side was made. The patient voids with good stream, has spontaneous erections and nocturnal emissions. During 10-years follow-up after the reconstruction two complications, namely a stricture of the urethra and a slight dorsal tethering of the penis caused by a scarred pubic skin were treated. The problems of the a reconstruction type and resurfacing of the penis in childhood are discussed.
