Abstract

Bifid scrotum and penoscrotal transposition are rare congenital scrotal anomalies. Cases diagnosed without hypospadias and chordee are uncommon. We present a rare case of bifid scrotum and incomplete penoscrotal transposition without hypospadias and chordee in a 10-year-old patient. Examination revealed an incomplete transposition of the external genitalia, with the scrotum bifid along the scrotal raphe. The hypoplastic penis was buried at the midpoint of the scrotum. Intraoperatively, no hypospadias or chordee was identified. Single-stage scrotal reconstruction was performed with the modified Glenn-Anderson technique. Post-operatively, the patient recuperated well, with minimal edema. Bifid scrotum and penoscrotal transposition may exhibit broad clinical variations. Different surgical techniques with single- or multiple-stage reconstruction may be performed to achieve good functional and cosmetic outcomes. The modified Glenn-Anderson technique is a feasible single-stage scrotal reconstruction procedure that enables the repair of hypospadias and chordee in the same setting. The post-operative swelling and aesthetic results are acceptable.
