Summary

Reconstructing the scrotum and perineum after defects is challenging. While perineal reconstruction is often satisfactory, total scrotal reconstruction typically falls short of native tissue function and appearance.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Urology
  • Andrology

Background:

  • The scrotum and perineum are vital for urinary, gastrointestinal, and sexual functions.
  • Scrotal defects arise from trauma, infection, or cancer resection, necessitating reconstruction.
  • Optimal testicular thermoregulation and mobility are crucial for spermatogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate reconstructive goals for scrotal and perineal defects.
  • To assess the efficacy of pedicled local and regional flaps.
  • To compare outcomes of scrotal versus perineal reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of reconstructive techniques for scrotal and perineal defects.
  • Analysis of flap-based reconstruction strategies.
  • Comparison of functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Pedicled local and regional flaps are the primary methods for reconstruction.
  • Perineal reconstruction generally yields satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.
  • Total scrotal reconstruction outcomes are often suboptimal compared to native tissue.

Conclusions:

  • Achieving durable coverage, function, and aesthetics are key reconstructive goals.
  • Current reconstructive options for total scrotal defects do not fully restore native appearance or function.
  • Further advancements are needed for optimal male genital reconstruction.
