Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Phallic reconstruction remains a complex surgical challenge.
  • The anteromedial thigh offers versatile vascularization for fasciocutaneous flaps.
  • Developing robust methods for penile reconstruction is crucial for patient quality of life.

Observation:

  • A proximally based anteromedial thigh fasciocutaneous flap was utilized for penile reconstruction.
  • The gracilis muscle was incorporated into the flap to provide additional bulk.
  • The flap was designed with a fasciosubcutaneous pedicle.

Findings:

  • Successful phallic reconstruction was achieved in an electrical burn patient.
  • The flap demonstrated ease of application in a microvascular setting.
