Objective:

To present a case of adult isolated male epispadias, a rare condition, and examine surgical repair techniques and outcomes.

Key Findings:
  • Surgical correction of isolated epispadias in adulthood is feasible.
  • The modified Cantwell-Ransley technique effectively restores anatomical integrity and sexual function.
  • Postoperative complications were minimal and resolved without significant issues, although the patient's preoperative status should be noted.
Interpretation:

The modified Cantwell-Ransley procedure is a reliable approach for adult patients with isolated epispadias, addressing both anatomical and psychosexual concerns, with implications for future surgical cases.

Limitations:
  • The study presents a single case, limiting generalizability.
  • Long-term outcomes and psychological impacts require further investigation, particularly due to the lack of long-term follow-up data.
Conclusion:

Surgical intervention for isolated male epispadias in adults can lead to satisfactory functional and cosmetic results, emphasizing the importance of tailored surgical approaches for individual patients.
