title: Preputial flap for primary closure after excision of tumors on the glans penis.
abstract: In patients with large defects of the glans penis consequent to organ-preserving tumor excision, we describe a vascularized flap formed from the outer preputial leaf for primary defect coverage. We have used this successfully in 3 men in whom both erections and penile length have been preserved.
