Description
Haichen Chen and seven co-authors report an improved operation for penoscrotal transposition, a birth defect where the scrotum sits in an abnormal position, in 2026 work. Older methods could cause heavy trauma, poor blood flow, or weak cosmetic results. Their method, used at their center since 2018, lifts the penis upward through a small cut circle inside a larger marked one. The team reviewed 35 patients treated between 2018 and 2023, most with partial and a few with complete forms.
Full correction was achieved in 33 of the 35 cases. Operations for the defect alone took about 70 minutes on average, and follow-up ran just over a year. Problems were few: one case of partial skin loss at the base and two cases of thick scars, all later resolved. Caregivers reported high satisfaction with appearance after surgery. The authors present the method as a safer, cleaner option for this repair.
