Abstract
Glans resurfacing is a recently described technique in the management of precancerous lesions and superficial invasive tumours of the glans penis as well as cases of indolent persistent lichen sclerosus. The technique is complex and is usually only practiced in specialist centres with combined urological and plastic surgical expertise. Cosmetic and functional results are better than in more extensive penile surgery, such as glansectomy, for such cases, cancer cure and control is comparable. Knowledge of the technique used and the spectrum of disease are vital for appropriate specimen handling and pathological reporting of these complex cases to aid further management and avoid overreporting of positive margins.
