Use of Pedicle Medial Thigh Flap in Penile Reconstruction; Lesson from a Case Report

Penile reconstruction can be challenging. The goal of the repair is to have aesthetically good looking penis that serves micturation and sexual needs. The patient must be approached holistically. The aim of this article is to show that care must be taking when using pedicle medial thigh flap in penile reconstruction.  Methodology This is a case report of a traumatic penile defect reconstructed with pedicle medial thigh flap.  Findings The penile defect was successfully reconstructed with patient scoring highest level of satisfaction in Liket scale. Patient also reported good erections. However, we experience wound dehiscence in the course of the reconstruction.  Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy Pedicle medial thigh flap is a good option in penile reconstruction. However the donor thigh should be restrained to prevent wound dehiscence.

Abstract

Penile reconstruction can be challenging. The goal of the repair is to have aesthetically good looking penis that serves micturation and sexual needs. The patient must be approached holistically. The aim of this article is to show that care must be taking when using pedicle medial thigh flap in penile reconstruction.  Methodology This is a case report of a traumatic penile defect reconstructed with pedicle medial thigh flap.  Findings The penile defect was successfully reconstructed with patient scoring highest level of satisfaction in Liket scale. Patient also reported good erections. However, we experience wound dehiscence in the course of the reconstruction.  Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy Pedicle medial thigh flap is a good option in penile reconstruction. However the donor thigh should be restrained to prevent wound dehiscence.
