Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Urology

Background:

  • Scrotal defects pose significant challenges for reconstructive surgeons, particularly in developing nations.
  • Common causes include trauma and Fournier's gangrene, necessitating effective reconstruction methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes, advantages, and disadvantages of different scrotal reconstruction modalities.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of various surgical techniques for scrotal defect repair.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective observational hospital-based study conducted over three years.
  • Reconstruction of scrotal defects in 35 patients using scrotal advancement flap, split-thickness skin grafting, medial thigh flap, anterolateral thigh flap, and groin flap.
  • Post-operative monitoring for flap survival and graft intake, followed by a three-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • The mean patient age was 48.57 years; 83% of defects were post-traumatic.
  • Scrotal advancement flap was the most frequently used method.
  • All flaps and grafts demonstrated successful survival.
  • Groin flap coverage resulted in the longest mean hospitalization, while anterolateral thigh flap had the longest mean operative time.

Conclusions:

  • Scrotal reconstruction demands a tailored approach based on individual patient factors.
  • Factors influencing technique selection include patient age, general condition, wound status, and specific patient needs.
