Penile torsion repair in children following a ladder step: Simpler steps are usually sufficient
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveTo evaluate the correction of different degrees of penile torsion following a ladder step so that simpler steps are used whenever possible. This can avoid the morbidity and complications of complex procedures.Patients and methodsCases of congenital and acquired penile torsion were repaired on a ladder step basis irrespective of the degree of torsion, starting with degloving and skin realignment, then a dorsal dartos flap and finally corporopexy. The torsion is checked with artificial erection after each step, and if corrected completely then the next step(s) is omitted.ResultsTwenty-five cases of penile torsion (30-180°) were repaired over a 4-year period. Three cases were corrected by degloving only, 12 by degloving and skin realignment, five by a dartos flap and four required a corporopexy. Postoperative complications included five cases of penile edema, one case of hematoma and one case of dorsal skin gangrene. Residual torsion of <15° occurred in three cases. No cases required redo surgery.ConclusionA ladder step approach is a good option for penile torsion repair, starting with simpler techniques until complete correction is achieved. There is no need to plan a complex procedure in advance.
