[Urethral centralization and pseudo-glans formation after partial penectomy].

The management of penile cancer has altered dramatically over the last decade. Confidence to excise lesions safely with smaller margins has led to the adoption of penile-preserving techniques and in turn improved the functional and cosmetic results. Patients undergoing partial penectomy (PP) find that the urethral meatus is located in an abnormal ventral position. In addition, there is a high risk of meatal stenosis. We describe our novel technique that allows the urethral meatus to be centralised after PP and creation of a pseudo-glans and wide meatus and therefore maintain the cosmetic appearance of the penis after split thickness skin grafting. The UCAPP technique allows the restoration of the normal meatal location and creation of a pseudo-glans in case of partial penectomy and therefore can improve the overall cosmetic appearance and reduce the psychological morbidity.
