    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Plastic surgery
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Massive skin loss of the scrotum and perineum presents a significant reconstructive challenge.
    • Previous methods may have limitations in achieving optimal cosmetic and functional results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel technique for scrotal reconstruction using thigh flaps.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this reconstructive approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical technique involving superior and laterally based thigh flaps was employed.
    • The procedure was performed on three patients with extensive scrotal and perineal skin loss.

    Main Results:

    • All three patients achieved an acceptable cosmetic result following the reconstruction.
