Abstract:
Herein, we describe a perineum-based pediculated scrotal flap procedure for urethral reconstruction. A scrotal tubular flap was used as a substitute to correct a proximal penile urethral stricture in case 1. In case 2, a scrotal island patch was performed to treat an iatrogenic penile urethral injury. In both cases, the urethral catheter was removed on postoperative day 14 with simultaneous normal voiding cystourethrography. The excellent axial vascularization of this perineum-based pediculated scrotal flap procedure allows successful urethral reconstruction, regardless of extension, location, and etiology.
