title: [Clinical utility of penile augmentation with prepuce retrocession].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical utility of penile augmentation with prepuce retrocession for redundant prepuce.
  
  
  METHODS
  From May 2008 to May 2010, 80 patients of redundant prepuce were surgically corrected by the following steps: injecting physiological saline to make penile erect, sliveing penile inner board, maintaining subcutaneous tissue, fascia, blood vessel, lymphatic ducts and nerve between inner and outer board, pushing and flattening fat and clumsy tissue and keying approximation so as to augment penile diameter.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Excellent penile functions were achieved. After a 6-month follow-up, the operative outcome was satisfactory without any complication. The operation with modified circumcision with penile augmentation had the following advantages of a lesser blood loss, mild postoperative edema, no secondary hemorrhage or infection, a quick recovery and a good appearance of penis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Treatment of redundant prepuce by penile augmentation with prepuce retrocession is an effective method.
