Abstract
Background. Surgical procedures for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis generally involve primary closure, partial glansectomy, skin graft, and penile amputation. Partial penile resection can result in not only unsightly deformation of the penis but also functional disorders of the urinary line as well as psychological effects due to subjective perceptions of a loss of power and masculinity. With the use of an organ-preserving procedure for functional reconstruction without compromising oncological control, this report describes a new procedure for performing functional penile reconstruction with an auricular cartilage composite graft.
