Detailed description
Background: The penoscrotal web may be congenital or acquired after excessive removal of ventral skin during circumcision. There are several previously described surgical techniques for the treatment of congenital webbed penis without a clear comparison between their outcomes. Purpose: the objective of our study was to compare the surgical results of Z-scrotoplasty and Heineke-Mikulicz scrotoplasty in the treatment of congenital webbed penis. Patients & Methods: Our prospective study included 40 uncircumcised patients presented with a webbed penis.
