  • Title: Prepucial skin flap for reconstruction of the scrotum in Fournier's gangrene.
    Author: al-Shaham AA.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 2001 Dec; 46(6):637-9. PubMed ID: 11826715.
    Abstract:
    A new procedure for reconstructing a scrotal defect caused by Fournier's gangrene is described. Complete and quick coverage of the exposed testicles is important aesthetically and functionally. A dorsally based prepucial flap is designed, flap viability is ensured by an abundant blood supply and venous drainage. This procedure for reconstruction of ventral hemiscrotum by using a flap of prepucial skin in non-circumcised persons has proved effective in selected cases.
