[Perioperative nursing for patients undergoing autologous dermis grafting for penile girth augmentation and penile lengthening].

Abstract

Objective: To explore the perioperative nursing methods of autologous dermal transplantation for penile girth enhancement combined with penile lengthening surgery.

Methods: Summarize the perioperative nursing data of 5 patients with small penis who underwent autologous groin dermal transplantation for penile girth enhancement combined with penile lengthening surgery.

Results: After comprehensive perioperative nursing, all 5 patients recovered well after the surgery. The preoperative APPSSI scores of the patients were 4.60±0.48, which were all less than 6 points. The postoperative APPSSI scores at 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 9－12 (10.6±1.02), 10－12 (11.2±0.98), and 10－12 (11.2±0.98) respectively, showing satisfaction with the surgical outcomes. There was a statistically significant difference compared to the preoperative APPSSI scores (Ｐ<0.05). The preoperative SAS scores were 45－58 (52.2±4.35), and the SAS scores at 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively were 31－40 (34.2±3.31), 30-41 (35.8±3.65), and 33－40 (35.6±2.33) respectively, indicating a reduction in anxiety levels after the surgery, with a statistically significant difference compared to the preoperative SAS scores (P<0.05). The preoperative IIEF-5 scores were 7－15 (10.4±2.87), and the IIEF-5 scores at 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively were 16－24 (19.8±2.71), 18－25 (21.2±2.48), and 18－24 (20.8±2.39) respectively, showing a significant improvement postoperatively, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The preoperative NPTR examination showed a sustained erection time of 18－25 (21.2±2.59) minutes, and the NPTR examination at 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively showed sustained erection times of 18－24 (21.8±2.28), 20-25 (23.4±2.30), and 24－27 (25.4±1.14) minutes respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the sustained erection time at 2 months and 6 months postoperatively compared to preoperative NPTR examination, but there was a statistically significant difference at 12 months postoperatively (P<0.01).

Conclusion: Comprehensive perioperative nursing is an important factor in achieving high satisfaction with the surgery, promoting postoperative recovery, and improving the quality of sexual life for patients undergoing autologous groin dermal transplantation for penile girth enhancement combined with penile lengthening surgery.
