Surgical treatment of balanitis xerotica obliterans.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1984 April
Balanitis xerotica obliterans, or kraurosis penis, is a chronic progressive scleroatrophic process of the penis, prepuce, and urethral meatus. This syndrome is due to lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the genital region. We have observed 32 patients, whose ages ranged from 24 to 78, with different clinical and pathologic findings. Clinical symptomatology consisted of painful erection with secondary impotence, burning, itching, and urinary disorders. The treatment in the early stages is pharmacologic; stenosis of the meatus, phimosis, scar adhesions, fissures, and erosions of glans and prepuce prescribe a surgical treatment. We have performed modified circumcision, meatotomy and meatoplasty, removal of the scleroatrophic tract and subsequent grafting. The functional results were satisfactory.
