Penoscrotal transposition

Penoscrotal transposition (PST) is a group of congenital defects involving an abnormal spatial arrangement of penis and scrotum.

Types

There are two types of penoscrotal transposition.[1]

  • Complete penoscrotal transposition
  • Incomplete penoscrotal transposition

In incomplete penoscrotal transposition, penis is located in the middle of the scrotum, but in complete transposition, penis is located in the perineum. [2]

Causes

Treatment

Gold standard of PST treatment is surgical repair.[2] Repair technique of penoscrotal transposition included a Glenn–Anderson technique, which is developed by F. Glenn and E. Everett Anderson.[3][4]
