About Partial Amputation of Penis

Partial amputation of the penis, also known as partial penectomy, is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to remove a portion of the penis. This is typically a treatment of last resort for localized penile cancer that has not spread, aiming to preserve as much penile length and function as possible while completely excising the malignant tissue. The procedure involves the precise removal of the affected segment, followed by reconstruction to close the wound and preserve urinary function. It is a major surgery that requires careful consideration of both oncological outcomes and quality of life, including future sexual and urinary function. Post-operative care is crucial for healing and monitoring for recurrence.
