Genital Reconstruction

This atlas covers operations that restore the external genitalia after trauma, infection, inflammatory disease, oncologic resection, FGM/C or congenital differences, including adult-acquired buried penis. Explore the penile, scrotal and vulvar sections according to the defect and functional goals. Gender-affirming pathways have their own dedicated section.

Peyronie's correction lives at 04j Peyronie's Disease; gender-affirming genital surgery lives at 04k; penile augmentation (PDD / SPS) lives in the Small Penis Syndrome clinical-conditions article.

  • Scrotal ReconstructionScrotal coverage after infection or tissue loss, residual-skin repair, grafts, regional flaps, lymphatic reconstruction and testicular prostheses.
  • Vulvar ReconstructionVulvar and perineal defects, local and regional flaps, complex reconstruction, FGM/C-related care and disease-specific procedures.
