Comparative study of
dartos fascia and tunica vaginalis pedicle wrap for the tubularized incised plate in primary hypospadias repair.
Infectious cases originating from the genitalia, the infecting bacteria probably pass through Buck's fascia of the penis and spread along the
dartos fascia of the scrotum and penis, Colles' fascia of the perineum, and Scarpa's fascia of the anterior abdominal wall.
If the cause of chordee is at the level of Buck's or
Dartos fascia, the urethral plate has to be excised which will mandate a tubularised flap urethroplasty.
The blood supply of the penile skin was maintained by preserving the dartos fascia at the dorsum of the penis (Fig.
Arrows point to preserved dartos fascia at the dorsum of the penis.
The common waterproofing techniques utilize subcutaneous tissue, [10]
Dartos fascia, [11] Dartosmuscle from scrotum, [12] tunicavaginalis from the scrotum.
The whole flap was then raised distally to proximally within the
dartos fascia layer.
Dartos fascia and portions of the tunica albuginea were debrided.
Degloving circumferential incision of the penile skin and
dartos fascia were performed.
An incision was established with a 1-mm margin around the tumour through skin to the level of the
dartos fascia. The keloid, measuring 4.6 cm x 1.8 cm, was dissected off of the
dartos fascia circumferentially, and then excised in its entirety and sent to pathology for further histopathological review (Fig.
The scrotal skin excised did not involve the
dartos fascia. Several smaller calcifications were also excised individually.
