F Penile procedures




1. Introduction

Penile procedures are commonly performed for the following three indications: (1) to repair congenital defects such as hypospadias (typically a pediatric procedure), which is usually a pediatric procedure; (2) for penectomy or penile resection as a result of penile cancer; and (3) for implants to compensate for impotence. Organic impotence is often secondary to diabetes, hypertension or side effects from the systemic treatments or spinal cord trauma.
