ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of different surgical techniques for treatment of concealed penis. Methods A retrospective review of 219 patients underwent surgical correction of concealed penis between 1986 and 2007 was performed. The mean age was (10.3±2.4) years(3-15 years). The penile length was (1.9±0. 5)cm(0. 5-3. 0 cm)before operation. Ninty-three patients were the severe degree of concealed penis. The others were the moderate degree. All patients under-went operation with different techniques, including Johnston's technique in 34, Devine's technique in 42, modified Devinds technique in 125 and Brisson's technique in 18. The increased length of penile af-ter operation was compared among the 4 groups with different surgical techniques by statistical meth-od. Results The postoperative increased length of penile in Johnston's technique, Devine's tech-nique, modified Devine's technique and Brisson's technique was (1.8 ± 0. 4) cm, (2. 0 ± 0. 5) cm, (2.1±0.4)cm and (2.3±0.4)cm respectively. The difference was significant by ANOVA test (F=13.1,P<0. 001). Devines technique, modified DevineSs technique and Brisson's technique were better than Johnston's technique considering the increased length of penile. The complication of severe penile lymphedema of 4 groups developed in 8, 5, 6 and 2 patients respectively. Conclusion Modified De-vine's technique has the satisfactory increasing of penile length for treatment of concealed penis and less complication rate after operation.
ABSTRACT
To deepen the teaching reform on comprehensive medical function experiment in our school,the mode of opening system of experiment teaching of medical function is proposed.The definition and characteristics of the opening system is discussed in this paper,and its theoretical foundation,guideline,goal location,effect and pending problems are also explored preliminarily.
