| Abstract: | Introduction Acquired penile shortening has multiple possible causes, including Peyronie's disease, penile prosthesis (PP) removal, trauma, radical prostatectomy, and long-standing erectile dysfunction. If severe, it can preclude the ability to have intercourse. Multiple surgical techniques aimed at enhancing penile length have been described. Herein, we describe a circular grafting technique for penile lengthening in men with debilitating penile length loss.Aim To describe the indications, technique, outcomes, and complications associated with circular grafting with PP insertion.Methods We describe our preferred method for performing circular grafting with PP insertion.Main Outcome Measure Penile length gain achieved after circular grafting.Results Average penile length gain after circular grafting is 2.5 cm in our practice. This is similar to the length gain associated with other similar procedures.Conclusion Circular grafting is a viable option to augment penile length in men with penile length loss precluding intercourse. Possible complications include changes in sensation, tissue necrosis, infection, and PP malfunction. |
