Webbed penis: A new classification.char = <;code = 60AIM : To introduce a new classification for the congenital anomaly of webbed penis and suggest an operative technique that can be planned according to the severity of webbing.MATERIALS AND METHODS : A prospective study was conducted in two pediatric surgical units in Egypt and UAE on babies who were referred for circumcision. A preplanned written protocol was designed before commencing the study.RESULTS : A total of 5,881 babies aged from 1 day to 6 months were seen in two pediatric surgical units. The webbed penis is broadly classified into primary and secondary types. The primary is further subdivided into simple and compound.CONCLUSIONS : We believe that the new classification will serve as a baseline for the anatomical variants and help to streamline the operative procedure accordingly.
