Preputial flap for primary closure after excision of tumors on the glans penis

Urology. 2001 Aug;58(2):274-6. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(01)01152-9.

Abstract

In patients with large defects of the glans penis consequent to organ-preserving tumor excision, we describe a vascularized flap formed from the outer preputial leaf for primary defect coverage. We have used this successfully in 3 men in whom both erections and penile length have been preserved.
