Urethra Reconstruction and Revision Urethroplasty in Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap Penile Reconstruction

Conclusions

The characteristics and requirements of patients should be considered before designing a surgical plan. The tube-in-tube technique is the first choice for reconstructing the penis and urethra in a single stage for thinner patients. For other patients, a different flap can be used as a substitute for urethral reconstruction. The SCIAP, pudendal-thigh, and pedicled scrotal flaps can be used to reconstruct the urethra. The tubed SCIAP flap and pudendal-thigh flap are reliable, simple, and suitable for revision urethroplasty.
