Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo provide ideal materials for resurfacing penile ventral wounds.
METHODSFor hypospadias with scrotal fissure and penile-scrotal transposition, scrotal skin flaps based on lateral branches of posterior scrotal arteries were utilized to resurface penile ventral wounds when urethral reconstruction were finished.
RESULTS9 cases of hypospadias of different types have been treated with the method mentioned above. All flaps survived and good results achieved.
CONCLUSIONFor hypospadias with scrotal fissure and penile-scrotal transposition, scrotal skin flaps pedicled on lateral branches of posterior scrotal arteries can not only resurface penile ventral wounds, but also correct scrotal fissure and penile-scrotal transposition simultaneously.
