ABSTRACT

There are few contemporary studies about the normal Urethral and Penile Length and the paucity of data about the same is surprising. This paper aims to add to the existing sparse anatomical data about the same. 264 male patients (age 18-82 years) admitted at a Tertiary Care Center, for any non-urological indication, between January, 2019 and April, 2020, who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were included in the study. The methodology was based on direct measurement of the Stretched Penile Length (penopubic junction to tip of glans) and estimating the Urethral Length by measuring the exposed segment of an indwelling Foley catheter and subtracting it from the total catheter length (measured from the base of balloon to the 慪� junction). The mean Urethral Length was 17.8 cm (14-30 cm) and the mean Stretched Penile Length was 7.8 cm (5-12 cm). There was no correlation between the age, BMI and Urethral Length or the Stretched Penile Length.
