Partial penectomy

Penile cancer is limited to the vicinity of the penis head, and partial penile resection is feasible. Precautions for partial penectomy: 1. During partial penectomy, care must be taken to select the site for penile resection. If the margin is close to the tumor, there is a risk of recurrence; if the resection is too much, the stump will be too short, and urination will be inconvenient. 2. Imperfect hemostasis of the cavernous body can cause postoperative bleeding. The key lies in the suture of the white membrane of the cavernous body of the penis on both sides and the mediastinum. The hemorrhage of the corpus cavernosum can be stopped by electrocoagulation. 3. The end of the urethra should be kept a certain length to expose the stump of the penis. If it is too short, it can be retracted into the skin to form a urethral stricture after surgery. At the same time, the blood flow of the two flaps at the end of the urethra should be kept to prevent necrosis. Formation of urethral strictures.
