Megaprepuce (MP) is a rare and challenging condition characterised by an excessive inner prepuce, paucity of penile skin and an extremely narrow phimotic ring. The aetiological factors leading to its development are poorly understood. A variety of surgical techniques have been described in the last 26 years mostly with small number of patients and short follow-up. It is also highly likely that some series have in the past included different variants of inconspicuous penis combining concealed penis, MP and webbed penis. This article is a systematic review of the literature on Megaprepuce; in particular the embryology, history, aetiology, and the surgical techniques available for the correction of this unique penile anomaly will be presented and discussed in this study.
巨包茎(MP)是一种罕见且具有挑战性的病症,其特征为过长的内包茎、阴茎皮肤不足和极其狭窄的包茎环。导致其发展的病因因素尚未得到很好的理解。在过去的 26 年中,已经描述了多种手术技术,但大多数都只涉及少量患者且随访时间短。过去,某些系列研究很可能已经将不同类型的隐匿阴茎(包括隐匿阴茎、MP 和蹼状阴茎)合并在一起。本文是对巨包茎文献的系统综述;特别是将介绍和讨论这种独特的阴茎异常的胚胎学、历史、病因和可用的手术技术。
