An original structured protocol for management and counselling of patients complaining of small penile size is successfully used allowing only few patients to seek further surgical intervention.

Urology 2007; 70:221-226. The authors introduced a novel questionnaire attempting to identify and to objectively estimate surgical outcomes of candidates for augmentation phalloplasty for penile dysmorphophobia.

Following their observations on the anatomical pathways of the penile lymphatics, the authors suggest to modify the surgical approach to the suspensory ligament of the penis, shifting the cutaneous incision upward by 1.5 cm, in order to reduce the postoperative hydrophallus.
