The prepuce flap in the reconstruction of male anal stenosis

Circumferential stenosis of the male anal canal was repaired using a subcutaneous prepuce flap. The stenosis was released to create a rhomboid defect. Then, to cover the defect a rectangular flap was designed on the hairless ventral side of the penis. The flap was raised over the Buck's fascia while preserving the subcutaneous vessels in the dartos fascia, which formed the pedicle of the flap. The flap was transposed to the defect by passing it through a tunnel in the perineum. The postoperative course was uneventful and the result was good. The flap had reliable vascularity, was very thin, and pliable so that it could adapt to the rhomboid defect in the anal canal.
