Cases presenting for the first time in adulthood are exceedingly rare and pose unique challenges regarding surgical reconstruction and psychosexual well-being.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n A 35-year-old continent male presented with a dorsal midshaft urethral meatus and associated chordee, seeking correction prior to marriage. The patient underwent a modified Cantwell-Ransley procedure, involving degloving, chordee excision, and ventral transposition of the urethral plate. Postoperative recovery was noted for transient minor glans necrosis, which healed spontaneously. At the three-month follow-up, the patient achieved a functional result with a peak flow rate () of 16 ml\/s and an IIEF-5 score of 22\/25.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Surgical correction of isolated epispadias in adulthood is feasible and offers significant benefits. The modified Cantwell-Ransley technique is a reliable approach for restoring anatomical integrity and sexual function.<\/jats:p>\n
