Abstract
Penile amputation for penile cancer, whether partial, subtotal or total, is a necessary step for local control of primary tumors in cases whereby penile preserving surgery is deemed inappropriate. This often has a significant functional and psychological impact on the patient and his partner with an inevitable impact on the quality of life. Whereas the majority of patients presenting with penile cancer are elderly, sexually inactive and happy to sit down in order to void, there are others who would like to regain some normality of urinary and sexual function. These patients may be candidates for a total phallic reconstruction and a discussion of this option should be undertaken with the patient at an early stage.
