Abstract
In patients with large defects of the glans penis consequent to organ-prese rving tumor excision, we describe a vascularized flap formed from the outer preputial leaf for primary defect coverage. We have used this successfully in 3 men in whom both erections and penile length have been preserved. URO LOGY 58: 274-276, 2001. (C) 2001, Elsevier Science Inc.
