title: [Reconstructive surgery of penile deformities and tissue deficiencies].
abstract: Penile deformities and tissue deficiencies can disturb sexual intercourse or make it impossible. The aim of the study is to summarize the different diseases according to their clinical appearance and pathological processes and to review operative methods and personal experiences. Surgical treatment of hypo- and epispadias is usually performed in childhood, but curvatures after unsuccessful operation can demand the reconstruction of urethra, skin and corpora cavernosa eventually. Peyronie's disease and curvature after penile fracture desire the reconstruction of tunica albuginea. Plaque surgery used to be performed with dermal, tunica vaginalis or venous grafts, but best results are obtained by shortening procedure on the contralateral side according to the Heinecke-Mikulitz principle. Tissue deficiencies and curvatures were observed after necrotic inflammatory processes, like Fournier's gangrene or chronic dermatitis. Skin defects were cured by flaps and grafts. Abscesses of penis, severe tissue defects and also curvatures were observed after intracavernous injection in cases of erectile dysfunction. Possibilities of reconstruction seem to be very poor. Oil granuloma of penis presents a new task for penile reconstruction. The best results of skin replacement were achieved by temporary embedding of the penis in scrotum.
