Penoscrotal inversion and its management.

Three patients with this anomaly are presented. The condition may cause problems in diagnosis even to experienced paediatricians and is often associated with other local anomalies particularly severe chordee. A careful pre-operative investigation is mandatory. The simplest way to treat the deformity is to use the scrotal skin to repair the defect created when the chordee deformity is released. This is satisfactory when there is no hypospadias but when the urethra has to be reconstructed there is a danger of introducing potentially hairy skin into the lining.
