Measurement of adult corpus penile prolonged length and the anatomy of penile vein and lymphatic vessel / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To provide experimental data by exploring the anatomic structure of adult corpus penis vein and lymphatic vessel and the length after releasing penile superficial ligament. Methods The penis length of 16 adult corpuses was measured immediately after releasing the superficial ligament, and make a statistical analysis between the prolonged portion and corpus height. A total of 40 cases of fresh penis specimens were divided averagely into two groups which were performed by vascular casting, indirect-injection of lymphatic vessel, shiff stating and dissection to observe their anatomic structure. Results Prolonged penis length ranged from 2-3 cm. Indian ink of 10% injected from penile glans and frenulum of prepuce mainly flew back through dorsal and lateral lymphatic vessel, but not through ventral vessel. Conclusion Penis can be prolonged about 2-3 cm by releasing the superficial ligament out of erectile condition. One-third proximal lateral area is advised for injection of bulbocavernosus body because blood vessels are less here. Obstinate edema after penis lengthening surgery has a close relation with the damnification of dorsal superficial vein and dorsal and lateral lymphatic vessel of penis.
