  • Title: Thin-trimming of the scrotal reconstruction flap: long-term follow-up shows reversal of spermatogenesis arrest.
    Author: Wang D, Wei Z, Sun G, Luo Z.
    Journal: J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg; 2009 Nov; 62(11):e455-6. PubMed ID: 18786872.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore a method to decrease the arrest of spermatogenesis in patients undergoing scrotum reconstruction with a flap. METHODS: A follow-up study on a patient whose scrotum had been reconstructed with a flap revealed the arrest of spermatogenesis. The flap was trimmed thin on two occasions, and the composition of the seminal fluid was followed up. RESULTS: The follow-up showed a decrease in the arrest of spermatogenesis after the flap was thin-trimmed. CONCLUSIONS: Thin-trimming the reconstruction flap can decrease the degree of spermatogenesis arrest in patients who have received scrotum reconstruction by thick flap.
