- PreviewThe penis in exstrophy–epispadias complex (EEC) males is diminutive and patients are often dissatisfied with appearance and length. Due to an increased risk of psychosexual dysfunction, patients desire penile reconstruction. Surgical options include penile lengthening with a full thickness skin graft (SG) or tissue expansion (TE) used for cutaneous coverage or neophalloplasty using a radial forearm free flap or pedicled antero-lateral thigh flap.
