Complete penoscrotal transposition: A three-stage procedure

Ivan Somoza et al. Indian J Urol. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Complete penoscrotal transposition (CPST) with an intact scrotum is a rare anomaly in which the scrotum is located cephalic to the penis. It is the most severe degree of malformation of a spectrum of abnormalities in scrotal development. There are few cases reported in the literature, and there are few descriptions of the technique for correction and results. We describe a new case of CPST and its sequential correction.

Keywords: Complete penoscrotal transposition; agenesis; penis; procedure; treatment.
