Neo-glans reconstruction for penile cancer: Description of the primary technique using autologous testicular tunica vaginalis graft

Partial penectomy (glansectomy with/or without distal corporectomy) is an acceptable alternative for smaller distal pT3 penile carcinoma lesions in highly motivated and compliant patients. The authors describe a novel technique of neo-glans reconstruction using a tunica vaginalis (TV) testis allogra...
