Abstract
A two-year-old boy was referred for correction of an amputation of pen is following ritual circumcision. The reconstruction involved mobiliza tion of the profound part of corpora cavernosa and coverage by a vascu larised flap taken from the hypogastric area through the use of a sub- cutaneous expandable prosthesis. After two years, appearance of the ne o-penis is satisfactory considering the initial lesions.
