Measurements were done by the same physician, with the same ruler while thecadavers in supine position, in order to maintain standardization and minimize errors. Thecadavers, which had any congenital or acquired penile anomaly, and any scar related totraumatic and surgical procudure were not included to the study. The cadavers weredivided into two groups were whether they were under 40 years of age (group 1; n=23) orhigher (group 2; n=27). In all the cadavers, flask and streched penile lengths, the gainafter ligamantolysis, the radius of dorsal nerves of penis (DNP) and dorsal penile vein(DPV), distances between DNP and DPV, and the lengths of the penile crura weremeasured. The course of DNP along penile dorsum, and the correlation between thepenile length and the radius of DNP were evaluated. The anatomical structures that needscaution in the penile lengthening procedures, especially in ligamantolysis were observed.In our study the gain after ligamantolysis was observed with a mean of 37,59 ± 0,50 mmin flaccid state. For the spaces that was formed after ligamantolysis between pubic boneand the penile shaft were placed, the autologous tissues like, either dermofat graft, oradipofasial flap that was planned from pubic region or costal cartilage graft. The longterm results can be optimized, especially by the usage of rigid and autologous structureslike costal cartilage graft, that prevents the fusion and fibrosis of ligaments, and retraction52of penis. In the statistical analyses, the correlation was observed only with the increasedage and the flask penile length.Key Words: Dorsal nevre of penis, penile crus, micropenis, penile lengthening andaugmentation53
