Abstract:
PURPOSE: Penile paraffinoma provokes many serious undesirable effects. We studied our series retrospectively to evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment according to the degree of penile skin defect after excision of the lesion. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Surgical treatment for penile paraffinoma was performed in 42 patients over 6 years. The operative methods were complete excision with primary closure (N=34) or bilateral pedicle scrotal flap (N=8). RESULT: The complications of bilateral pedicle scrotal flap were wound infection in 1 case and skin defect in 1 case. There were no complications of primary closure. CONCLUSIONS: We propose that the proper treatment of penile paraffinoma is complete excision with primary closure for a small denuded penis and bilateral pedicle scrotal flap for a large denuded penis.
