Abstract
Introduction

We analyze our experience in the conservative surgical management of penile cancer and/or penile skin pathologies at our institution.

Material and methods

We have retrospectively reviewed all the skin grafting procedures performed in penile surgery in the last eight years. We show the indications and results of these surgical procedures and the detailed surgical technique originally described by Bracka.

Results

Ten patients had several types of partial penile removal surgery followed by free-skin graft resurfacing, creating a neoglans. There were no relevant or major complications; two patients suffered partial necrosis of the skin graft. There was no local recurrence. 6 Patients returned to normal sexual activity after complete healing.

Conclusions

There is a significant number of patients with penile cancer and/or other penile skin pathologies who can undergo definitive and non-mutilating surgery with excellent oncologic, cosmetic and functional results with skin grafting.

Keywords:
Penile neoplasm
Free-skin graft
Reconstructive surgery
Resumen
Introducción

Analizamos nuestra experiencia en el manejo conservador y reconstructivo de los pacientes tratados de cáncer de pene y/o patologías cutáneas del pene en nuestra institución.

Material y métodos

Hemos revisado retrospectivamente todos los procedimientos de injerto cutáneo realizados en la cirugía peneana a lo largo de los últimos 8 años. Se presentan las indicaciones y resultados de estas cirugías y el procedimiento quirúrgico detallado descrito originalmente por Bracka.

Resultados

Diez pacientes fueron sometidos a extirpación parcial del pene seguida de técnica quirúrgica reconstructiva con injerto libre de piel creando un neoglande. No se han registrado casos de complicaciones mayores; dos pacientes tuvieron pérdida parcial del injerto y ninguno ha presentado recidiva local. Seis pacientes comunicaron haber reanudado su actividad sexual después de la curación completa.

Conclusión

Existe un grupo importante de pacientes con cáncer de pene y/o otras patologías en el glande donde es posible realizar una cirugía reconstructiva peneana no mutilante con resultados oncológicos, estéticos y funcionales satisfactorios.
