Management of Primary
Total glansectomy
3
Laser Therapy
Lasers used carbon dioxide (CO2),
neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG)
potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP)
Circumcision – recommended
Drawbacks
Healing time - 5 to 8 weeks for CO2 laser (8 to 12 weeks for
the Nd : YAG and KTP lasers)
local recurrence rate - 20% (for Ca. in situ and T1 lesion)
difficulty in determining the exact depth of laser coagulation
inability to treat larger lesions
careful long-term surveillance
4
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
removal of cancer by excision of tissue in thin
layers
Local control rate - 94%
Best suited in- Ca. in situ, small T1
5
Local excision
excision of lesion with negative margin
Reconstruction- primary closure, preputial skin
flap, full-thickness graft of penile skin , SSG
local recurrence - 8% to 11%
6
Surgical glans defect covered with
outer preputial flap
Superficial glans tumor
7
Skin graft quilted to glans defect
after superficial tumor excision
8
Radiation Therapy for
the Primary Lesion
Indications
young patients with small (2- to 4-cm) superficial
lesions of distal penis, not willing for amputation
patients who refuse surgery
9
Radiation Therapy for
the Primary Lesion
EBRT
direct field method - only for very superficial tumors
(Tis ,T1)
parallel opposed field method - T2, T3 (penis
irradiated by encasing the lesion in a wax mold)
Brachytherapy
Interstitial brachytherapy - placement of
radioactive material within the tumor
Plesiobrachytherapy- placement of radioactive
material molded around the tumor
10
Brachytherapy not suitable
bulky tumors
obese patients with short penis
deeply infiltrating tumors
11
Radiation Therapy for
the Primary Lesion
60 Gy to 74 Gy
Salvage penectomy
persistent or recurrent disease after RT
radiation necrosis
12
Penis wrapped in cellophane and taken out
through central aperture

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
OF THE PRIMARY TUMOR
16
Partial Penectomy
Goals
Successful local control (at least 2 cm proximal
margin)
preserve voiding in standing position
possible sexual function
17
Partial Penectomy- Steps
lesion initially excluded from surgical field by small towel
skin incised circumferentially at the line of amputation to Buck fascia
Buck fascia incised laterally, plane dissected between tunica albuginea and
neurovascular structures
dorsal penile vessels ligated and divided
corpora cavernosa sharply divided
urethra dissected 1.5 cm distally and transected
corpora closed transversely
penile skin closed in midline over corporeal ends
urethrostomy constructed by approximating urethra to the adjacent penile
skin
indwelling urethral catheter is left in place for 3 to 5 days
18
Partial penectomy
19
Partial penectomy
20
Partial penectomy
21
Partial penectomy + Rt. IIBD with
TFL flap + Lt. SIBD
22
Total Penectomy with Perineal
Urethrostomy
Indication After adequate surgical
margin – if remnant not sufficient for
upright voiding
23
Emasculation
24
Emasculation + Rt. IIBD with
extended TFL flap + Lt. SIBD
25
Emasculation Specimen
26
Emasculation + Rt. IIBD with
extended TFL flap + Lt. IIBD with
Primary closure
27
Radical Penectomy
Excision of the corporeal bodies in their entirety
28
Comparing Surgery & RT
Surgery RT
local recurrence after urethral fistula, stricture,
partial or total penectomy - stenosis, penile necrosis,
0% to 8% pain, edema
rapid tumor control Penile necrosis - 0%
Meatal stenosis- 6% to 23%
Urethral stenosis - 10% to
45%
6 weeks of therapy in EBRT
several months of
morbidity
Close follow-up – must
distinguishing post
irradiation ulcer, scar, and
fibrosis from recurrent
carcinoma - impossible
29
Comparing Surgery & RT
Surgery RT
Complications of block 5-year local control -
dissection 70% to 87%
(Brachytherapy)
5-year local control -
44% to 69.7% (EBRT)
sexual QOL - not
studied with validated
instruments
30
Treatment of Primary lesion Stage by
Stage
Tis ( options after confirmatory biopsy)
Lesion prepuce circumcision
Lesion glans
Topical5FU cream
Laser Excision
RT
31
Treatment of Primary lesion- Ta
Laser Excision

Surgery
RT-
contraindicated
32
Treatment of Primary lesion- Options
T1,T2,T3
Partial penectomy
Total penectomy
Emasculation
33
Treatment of Primary lesion- Options
T4
Emasculation
Hemipelvectomy
34
Sexual function after partial penectomy
5 patients ( 21.7%) who underwent penectomy for residual / recurrent disease not included
** 1 patient had loss of erectile function before starting Radiotherapy
***2 patients with normal erection were not sexually active (single and advanced age)

37
Total Penile Reconstruction
Originally developed for treatment of victims of
war injuries
micro vascular free-flap reconstruction for
phallic construction
Forearm flap
38
Configuration of the flap
(modified Biemer design)
39
Appearance of the phallus after it is
totally configured and transposed to the
area of the “penis.”

Summary
Definite role for Organ preservation- Tis, Ta,
T1a
RT – only in selected cases ( local recurrence,
complications common)
2cm proximal margin, adequate penile stump for
upright micturition - Partial Penectomy
2cm proximal margin , if inadequate penile stump
for upright micturition- Total Penectomy
