Abstract
Introduction: Scrotal raw areas can be a source of morbidity and of great concern to the patients inflicted with such a problem. These patient are commonly referred to the Plastic Surgery service for definitive treatment and coverage of the defect.
Objective: This case series is intended to present the results of scrotal reconstruction in 11 cases of near total to total scrotal defects using bilateral Singapore flaps.
Methods: A total of 11 patients were included in this study. All patients were male, with total or near total scrotal defects following debridement of Fournier's gangrene. The patient's ages ranged from 39 to 62 years old. Ten out of the eleven patients were known diabetics. Seven patients had near total scrotal defects and four patients had total scrotal defects. Bilateral pudendal thigh flaps (Singapore flaps) were used to reconstruct the scrotal defects in all cases.
Results: The flap survival rate was found to be 100% in all cases and none of the postoperative patients required revision of the flap. At the one month postoperative visit, all patients presented with stable, viable flaps. All flaps proved to be exceptional color matches to the surrounding tissue and demonstrated excellent pain and light touch sensation. All patients reported high levels of satisfaction in regards to the esthetic appearance as well as the functionality and sensation of their new scrotum.
Conclusion: Singapore flap reconstruction is a very versatile technique and can be achieved as a single stage procedure. We have concluded that the Singapore flap is a superior choice in scrotal defect coverage and reconstruction due to the excellent clinical results as well as the patient's satisfaction in regards to the procedure outcome.
