Our results showed that, of the 1 000 cases, 64 had the postoperative complications, including 20 cases of edema of prepuce, 15 cases of flap necrosis, 12 hematoma, 9 infections, and 8 cases of fat and clumsy penis. It is concluded that correct operative manipulation, strict aseptic measures and necessary postoperative care and management could avoid or reduce the postoperative complications. When complications happened, a satisfactory result can be achieved with timely and correct treatment in the majority of the patients.
