Penoscrotal plastic surgery for extreme elephantiasis of the external genital organs: A case at the Urology-Andrology University Clinic in Cotonou

Although historically an area of lymphatic filariasis endemic, repercussions from this disease are becoming rarer in Benin. We are reporting on an extreme case of penoscrotal elephantiasis, treated at the Urology-Andrology University Clinic in Cotonou. Penoscrotal plastic surgery was performed through the reduction in volume and reconstruction of the scrotum using two lateral flaps. Results after a follow-up at six months are satisfactory. © 2012 SALF et Springer-Verlag France.
