Penile appearance secondary to partial penectomy for penile carcinoma can significantly affect patients' quality of life. Several techniques have been described to overcome these adversities; nevertheless, glans reconstruction remains a major surgical challenge. While cutaneous flaps do not achieve adequate cosmetic results, the main disadvantage of oral mucosal flaps is that the receptor site is mobile and neovascular formation is compromised. Glanuloplasty with a scrotal flap has acceptable cosmetic results with an acceptable stenosis rate, however, it requires definitive scrotal hair removal and is a two-stage surgical technique. As an alternative, we successfully treated a patient with urethral flap glanuloplasty and assessed his quality of life, sexual and urinary function.
