Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the surgical outcome of Z-scrotoplasty versus Heineke-Mikulicz scrotoplasty in the management of congenital penoscrotal web in pediatric age group.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• Question 1: Is there a difference in the surgical outcome between using Z-scrotoplasty and Heinke Miculickz scrotoplasty in the management of congenital penoscrotal web?] Participants will be divided into two groups; Group A treated by Z-scrotoplasty and Group B treated by Heineke Miculickz scrotoplasty.

Description:

Background: The penoscrotal web may be congenital or acquired after excessive removal of ventral skin during circumcision. There are several previously described surgical techniques for the treatment of congenital webbed penis without a clear comparison between their outcomes. Purpose: the objective of our study was to compare the surgical results of Z-scrotoplasty and Heineke-Mikulicz scrotoplasty in the treatment of congenital webbed penis. Patients & Methods: Our prospective study included 40 uncircumcised patients presented with a webbed penis. They were divided into group A which was treated by Z-scrotoplasty and group B which was treated by Heineke-Mikulicz scrotoplasty.
