Reconstruction of penile agenesis by a posterior sagittal approach.
Penile agenesis is a rare condition requiring gender reassignment and staged perineal reconstruction. This report describes two children reconstructed by taking advantage of the posterior sagittal approach. This approach allows a precise anatomic dissection, construction of a neovagina and accurate positioning of all perineal orifices. We think that this is the preferred approach for this rare condition.
