Abstract
Objective:
To improve the survival of a reconstructed penis and reduce injury of the donor site at the abdominal wall.
Methods:
Sixteen cases of phalloplasty were performed using an abdominal flap based on two sources of blood supply i.e. the cutaneous branches of the inferior epigastric blood vessel and the superficial epigastric blood vessel.
Results:
All of the operations were successful.
Conclusions:
With abundant blood supply and high survival rate and the advantage of easy transposition, the flap is a good option for phalloplasty.
