Penoscrotal Webbing Condition

Penoscrotal webbing is a physical condition acquired at birth or by complications from circumcision during infancy where the skin of the scrotum is attached to the underside of the penile shaft concealing the penoscrotal angle [1].

Webbed penis does not appear to cause any problems in children except for poor appearance. However, in adults this can cause poor appearance, penile curvature, and can even prevent penetration during sexual activity in the most severe cases of penoscrotal webbing Beverly Hills patients can experience. These effects can lead to psychological problems and sexual dysfunction leading to poor quality of life and even low self-esteem due to cosmetic deformity. The condition can be due to a few factors:

  • Genetic condition
  • Complications during circumcision
  • Overly aggressive removal of skin from under side of the penis during circumcision

Treatments for Penoscrotal Webbing

Treatments for penoscrotal webbing involve surgical procedures. There are various procedures available for patients that can correct this issue. One such process is anchoring the scrotum to the base of the penis and another is Z-plasty.

The surgical treatment that is used depends on the status of the penoscrotal webbing [2]. Each procedure is used to correct it in different ways and this is determined by your surgeon.
