Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of preputial pedicled flap phalloplasty for repair of severe webbed penis. Methods Between May 2011 and May 2015, 23 boys with severe webbed penis were treated. The age ranged from 2 years and 8 months to 8 years and 3 months (mean, 4 years and 8 months). According to El-Koutby & El Gohary classification, 14 cases were rated as grade 3 simple webbed penis and 9 cases as compound webbed penis (2 cases of type 1, 2 cases of type 2, and 5 cases of type 3). The penis length was 2.1-5.4 cm (mean, 3.4 cm), and the penoscrotal angle was 130-160° (mean, 144°). All the glans could not be exposed. No other urinary system diseases and no history of penile surgery were found in children. All cases underwent one stage preputial pedicled flap phalloplasty. Results After successful correction, the penis length was 3.6-6.4 cm (mean, 4.7 cm); the penoscrotal angle was 90-110° (mean, 97°). Clear skin boundaries were observed at penile and scrotal parts. No web skin or scrotal skin was left on the penis. Primary healing of incision was obtained, with no necrosis of the flap or infection. All cases were followed up 12 to 41 months (mean, 25 months). No penile curvature, abnormal sensation of glans, or recurrence of the penoscrotal angle occurred, and the patients had normal urination. Conclusion Preputial pedicled flap phalloplasty can be used as one stage repair for severe webbed penis. The penis is close to natural state and had satisfactory appearance, avoiding the possibility of long-term edema and penile curvature.
