ABSTRACT

Background: Webbed penis is a congenital or acquired abnormality, in which the scrotal skin extends to the ventral base of the penis. Symptomatology is not usually severe in pediatric patients, but the pathology can cause great discomfort in the adult. Accurate classification is essential for planning its correction at the time it is detected.
Objective: The present article describes a new classification for webbed penis, modifying the previous one, and completely changing the perspective of that pathology, adding a variety of abnormal folds to the most accepted classification. This new classification will aid in the selection of specific surgical techniques.
Patients and methods: The El-Koutby and El Gohary classification for webbed penis was analyzed and modified, based on its anatomic description and information on the pathology from different studies. A variant seen in a case at our hospital was added to the classification.
Results: A new classification was formulated that cover abnormalities that appear with webbed penis and are important for surgical planning. The concept of a webbed penis, as translated into Spanish, was changed for that of penile folds, and the variant seen in our patient was also included.
Conclusion: Given the ambiguity of the term and the multiple synonyms for webbed penis, the change in nomenclature to include penoscrotal and pubopenile folds among the penile folds, is considered more adequate. The modified classification also facilitates surgical technique selection in those patients.
