On the morning of May 5, the Central Endocrinology Hospital in collaboration with E Hospital successfully performed a skin transplant and penis transformation surgery for patient H.V.Q, 59 years old, residing in My Duc, Hanoi.
Patient H.V.Q has a history of type 2 diabetes, accompanied by peripheral neuropathy complications. The patient was admitted to the hospital with total skin loss of the penis and scrotum, post-operative necrosis of Founier, and metabolic disorders - severe electrolyte disorder.
Recognizing the complexity of the disease, the Foot Care Department has consulted with the cosmetic surgery unit, regeneration & sex medicine - Central Endocrinology Hospital and cosmetic shaping surgery and facial jaw - E. Hospital for all the unified surgery team for patients after well controlled infections and metabolic disorders.
The surgical method applied is thin skin transplantation for the penis and scrotum, with the source of the transplant being the scalp, combined with sinhate formation. This is a complex surgery that requires the coordination of many specialties and teams. The foot care department has performed a very good role in controlling blood sugar, creating a foundation for wounds, ensuring maximum convenience for surgery.
During the surgery, the doctors removed necrotic damage, tried to retain and shape the alive tissue. The scalp part, accounting for about 2% of the body's skin area, is taken by a specialized skin and grafted for the entire penis and the biological layer. The disabled organizations after being removed have been shaped by the flap in place, ensuring good nutrient source.
The success of the surgery has brought opportunities for health recovery and improved the quality of life for patient H.V.Q.
