Reconstruction of male external genitalia with elephantiasis

C M Holman Jr et al. Urology. 1977 Dec.

Abstract

The surgical rehabilitation of a patient with severely deformed and functionally disabled genitalia due to long-standing lymphedema and infection is described and illustrated. The term "elephantiasis" has been applied to such gross lesions. Appropriate surgery to the penis, scrotum, and perineum has yielded a gratifying result. The principles and techniques of the surgical approach in such an undertaking are presented and discussed.
