| Core Tip |
Congenital aphallia is an exceptionally rare anomaly with significant diagnostic, reconstructive and psychosocial challenges. Early recognition and differentiation from mimicking conditions are essential. The condition frequently coexists with multisystem anomalies, which largely determine prognosis. Management has evolved from routine feminizing genitoplasty to a more individualized, patient-centered approach favoring male gender assignment and staged reconstruction. Modern surgical strategies, particularly microsurgical neophalloplasty, offer improved functional and cosmetic outcomes, although challenges in urethral reconstruction persist. A multidisciplinary approach and long-term follow-up are crucial. Emerging advances in tissue engineering hold promise for future reconstructive solutions. |
