Two-stage Neoscrotum Reconstruction Using Porcine Bladder Extracellular Matrix after Fournier’s Gangrene

Conclusions: This technique produces a near-normal appearing scrotum in the normal anatomic position for the testicles. The porcine xenograft material incites an intense granulation reaction, producing a wound bed amenable to accept a skin graft at 2–3 weeks. This 2-stage procedure to create a neoscrotum can be considered for the reconstruction of disfigured genitalia from Fournier’s gangrene wounds.
