Penis Enlargement by Penile Suspensory Ligament Division with Cross-Plasty of the Skin

OBJECTIVE: Current methods of surgical lengthening do not always produce good results and have certain disadvantages. Thus, we conducted this study to demonstrate a modified technique of ligamentolysis that lacks some disadvantages. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have reviewed 30 patients who underwent surgery with the use of the proposed “cross-method” and also compared with 35 patients who had surgery with the division of the suspensory ligament performed with the use of V-Y plasty method. RESULTS: We have achieved better enlargement and SEAR (self-esteem and relationship) scores with the “cross-method” compared to V-Y plasty. CONCLUSION: The cross-method is a simple alternative technique for penile lengthening that can be performed safely in order to treat small penis syndrome and obtain better results.
