Scrotal Webbing - Scrotal Skin

Scrotal Webbing, also known as "bridging" or "scrotal raphe," refers to a condition where the skin of the scrotum is attached to the penis over a greater distance than normal. This creates an appearance of continuous skin between the scrotum and the base of the penis, rather than a distinct separation between the two.

​

Scrotal webbing can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developed later in life). In some cases, it may simply be a normal anatomical variation. However, in other cases, it may result from excessive scarring after surgery, injury, or inflammation.

In cases where scrotal webbing causes functional or aesthetic issues, surgical intervention may be considered to correct the condition. This may involve a procedure to remove excess skin or to realign it appropriately.

​

Surgical Treatment for Scrotal Webbing typically involves removing the excess skin and revising the skin structure to restore a normal and functional appearance. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the extent of the correction needed.

During the surgery, the surgeon makes precise incisions to remove the excess skin and reposition the tissues to achieve an optimal aesthetic result. After the surgery, sutures are generally used to close the incisions.

Postoperative care is crucial to ensure rapid healing and minimize the risk of complications. This may include measures such as rest, wearing loose clothing, applying ice, and taking pain medications as needed.

It is also important to note that each case of scrotal webbing is unique, and the surgical treatment plan will be tailored to the specific needs of each patient following an individual assessment by Dr. Danino in Montreal.
