Penoscrotal Webbing Correction in Dubai

Penoscrotal webbing, also called a webbed penis, occurs when scrotal skin extends higher than usual onto the underside of the penile shaft, reducing the normal definition between the penis and scrotum. It may be present from birth or develop after procedures such as circumcision. In some men, it can cause discomfort during erections or sexual activity and may affect confidence about penile appearance.

At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai Healthcare City, penoscrotal webbing correction in Dubai is individually planned according to the severity of the webbing, skin quality, previous surgery, and the patient's functional and cosmetic concerns.

When Is Penoscrotal Webbing Correction Needed?

Mild webbing may not require treatment if it causes no problems. Surgery may be considered when webbing causes:

• Discomfort or tightness during erections
• Difficulty or discomfort during sexual intercourse
• A noticeable cosmetic deformity
• Restriction of the apparent penile length
• Webbing that developed or worsened after circumcision or previous surgery

How Is Penoscrotal Webbing Corrected?

The most common treatment is scrotoplasty, which releases the abnormal connection between the scrotal skin and the penile shaft and recreates a more natural penoscrotal angle. Depending on the severity, techniques such as Z-plasty, V-Y advancement, transverse-to-vertical closure, or local tissue reconstruction may be used.

For more extensive webbing or associated skin deficiency, additional reconstructive techniques or skin grafting may occasionally be required.

Assessment Before Surgery

A physical examination is usually sufficient to diagnose penoscrotal webbing. The specialist assesses the extent of the webbing, penile skin, scarring, penile curvature, urinary function, and any previous circumcision or penile surgery.

Recovery and Aftercare

Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, and mild discomfort are common after surgery. Patients should follow wound-care instructions, avoid strenuous activity during early healing, and attend follow-up appointments. Sexual activity should generally be avoided until the wound has healed adequately and the surgeon confirms it is safe. Complete healing commonly takes several weeks.

Benefits, Risks, and Expected Results

Penoscrotal webbing correction can improve the penoscrotal angle, reduce tightness during erections, improve the appearance of the penis, and make sexual activity more comfortable when webbing is causing functional problems.

Possible complications include bleeding, infection, swelling, scarring, wound-healing problems, altered sensation, residual or recurrent webbing, and the need for revision surgery. The expected result depends on the severity of the condition and the surgical technique used.
