PURPOSE
Megaprepuce is a rare development abnormality characterized by a redundant internal layer of the
prepuce covering a normal sized penis.
We report our experience with a simple and reliable surgical technique in 15 patients with megapre-
puce treated in our hospital between 2005 and 2015. Mean age was 9 months (3-20).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A transverse ventral incision was performed between scrotal and penile skin. Apical and lateral
scrotal skin extensions were dissected from the penile skin on either side. An incision was then
performed along the midline of the ventral penile and preputial skin; opening the preputial sac and
everting its inner layer. Redundant inner preputial skin was excised, leaving a cuff of mucosa under
the glans. A tissue plane was developed along Buck’s fascia on both sides of the penile shaft.
Scrotal flaps were mobilized beneath the penis and sutured in the midline.The outer preputial layer
and the dorsal penile skin was transposed ventrally around the shaft and closed in a vertical line.
Finally, penile skin was sutured to the proximal mucosal cuff and to the scrotal skin.
RESULTS
After surgical repair all patients recovered a normal micturition pattern and the cosmetic aspect was
considered satisfactory. Two patients developed ventral midline skin dehiscence at the penoscrotal
junction that subsided by secondary epithelial ingrowth. One patient suffered a scrotal hematoma.
Mean follow-up was 3, 6 years.
CONCLUSIONS
This procedure has similarities to other surgical repairs described to treat patients with megapre-
puce; and provides adequate anatomic and satisfactory genital appearance.

PURPOSE
We reviewed our experience in treating children with cosmetic complications following non-
therapeutic male circumcision (NMC) with Plastibell and Circumplast devices at a community clinic.
This study highlights the factors leading to these complications and clinical management to improve
the cosmetic appearance.
