Abstract
Aphallia is best managed by early penile and urethral reconstruction. We describe parascrotal flap phallo-urethroplasty, with a 6-year follow-up and a psychological profile, that constructs a ‘penis’ of realistic shape, colour, and position, and having skin sensation, with an integral urethra that allows a free concentrated urinary stream and satisfies the psychological needs of family and child during childhood. The lack of corpora cavernosa only becomes significant at puberty.
