Penoscrotal web

Penoscrotal or peno-scrotal or penile-scrotal web or “turkey neck” as said in the vernacular gives the illusion of shorter penile length and often causes some irritation during penetration especially with tugging on hairs and drawing in of the scrotum into the vagina.  This often occurs because of an overzealous circumcision where too much skin is removed on the underside drawing the scrotum onto the shaft of the penius.

The remedy is resection of the peno-scrotal web.  Although some authors favor a Z plasty we have seen these patients and for me it looks like the mark of Zoro on the penile shaft and scrotum.

I believe our approach is more cosmetic because the penile incision remains in the midline as an extension of the raphe, and the scrotal incisions even on a fresh post op are difficult to discern.

Our fee is $250 for consultation. The charge for release of peno-scrotal web and reconstruction including local anesthesia and use of the facility is an additional $2500.

Please do look at our photgraphic example and see if you agree, back to normal.
