          Abstract

          Resumen La Gangrena de Fournier es una forma poco frecuente de fascitis necrotizante que puede llegar a ser fatal si no es tratada adecuadamente. Las áreas habitualmente afectadas son el periné y los genitales externos y con frecuencia requieren amplios desbridamientos quirúrgicos que pueden dejar defectos de cobertura extensos. La reconstrucción del tronco del pene requiere una reparación libre de tensión que permita mantener la capacidad eréctil del tejido y evite la formación de una cicatriz retráctil. La viabilidad de la técnica empleada, su resultado estético y el grosor del pene reconstruido son otros factores a tener en cuenta. Las principales opciones para proporcionar cobertura son los colgajos pediculados locales y los injertos de piel de espesor parcial o total. El colgajo fasciocutáneo pudendo se emplea comúnmente en la cirugía reparadora de periné y vagina pero, de acuerdo con lo observado en la literatura, apenas existen 2 casos descritos de su uso en reconstrucción del tronco del pene, con variaciones respecto al diseño tradicional del colgajo. Describimos una secuela de Gangrena de Fournier en la que logramos con éxito la cobertura del tronco del pene gracias a una novedosa modificación en el diseño del colgajo fasciocutáneo pudendo.

          Abstract Fournier ́s Gangrene is an uncommon form of necrotizing fasciitis, which can be fatal if inadequately treated. Perineum and external genitalia are the most commonly affected areas. Urgent radical surgical debridement is often required, which results in extensive soft tissue damage. Reparation of penis shaft must be tension-free, preserving erectile capacity, and avoiding retractile scar formation. Viability of the technique, aesthetic outcome, and thickness of the reconstructed penis should be also beard in mind. Local pedicled flaps, and split or full-thickness skin grafts are the main options for providing coverage. The pudendal thigh fasciocutaneous flap is one of the workhorse flaps of choice for perineal and vaginal reconstructive surgery but, to the best of our knowledge, it has only been used for penile shaft reconstruction in 2 single case studies, in which modifications to the classical design were performed. We report the case of a sequel of Fournier's Gangrene, in which penile shaft coverage was successfully accomplished with an innovative modification in the design of the pudendal thigh fasciocutaneous flap.

          Penile reconstruction with the radial forearm flap: an update.

          Many methods and many free or pedicled flaps have been used in phalloplasty. None of these techniques is able to completely fulfill the well described goals in penile reconstruction. Still, the radial forearm glap is currently the most frequently used flap and thus universally considered the gold standard. Since 1992, we have performed the largest series of 316 radial forearm phalloplasties to date performed by a single surgical team. From these extensive data we critically evaluate how this current supposed gold standard can meet the requirements of an ideal penile reconstruction. We assessed outcome parameters such as number of procedures to achieve complete functional result, aesthetic outcome, tactile and erogenous sensation, voiding, donor site morbidity, scrotoplasty and sexual intercourse. While currently no controlled randomized prospective studies are available to prove the radial forearm flap is truly the 'gold standard' in penile reconstruction, we believe that our retrospective data support the radial forearm phalloplasty as a very reliable technique for the creation of a normal looking penis and scrotum. While full functionality is achieved through a minimum of 2 procedures, the patients are always able to void standing, and in most cases to experience sexual satisfaction. The relative disadvantages of this technique are the residual scar on the forearm donor site, the rather high number of initial urinary fistulas, the potential for long-term urological complications and the need for a stiffener or erection prosthesis. From our experience, we strongly feel that a structured multi-disciplinary cooperation between the reconstructive-plastic surgeon and the urologist is an absolute requisite to obtain the best possible technical results. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.

            Reconstruction of scrotal and perineal defects in Fournier's gangrene.

            Fournier's gangrene is an acute and potentially lethal necrotising fasciitis that involves the scrotum and perineum. This disease can result in the loss of skin and soft tissue. To repair the scrotal and perineal defects remains a surgical challenge. Between January 2000 and December 2008, 50 patients were admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of Fournier's gangrene. We retrospectively reviewed 31 of the 44 surviving patients, who needed reconstructive procedures for coverage of scrotal and perineal soft-tissue defects. The choice of reconstructive procedure was based on the size, location, severity of the defects and the availability of local tissue. The patients' age, predisposing factors, defect size and location, reconstructive procedures and outcomes were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 53.6 years (range, 20-84 years). The average size of the skin defect was 86 cm(2). A total of 12 patients were treated by scrotal advancement flap coverage, nine by split-thickness skin graft, five by pudendal thigh flap, two by gracilis myocutaneous flap, one by gracilis muscle flap plus split-thickness skin graft and three by pedicle anterolateral thigh flap. The overall surgical complication rate was 16%. Early debridement and wound coverage in Fournier's gangrene are mandatory to allow patients to return to normal life. We set up a valuable reconstructive algorithm based on the characteristics of the defects and our 9 years of experience, which adds to the versatility of the armamentarium of the reconstructive surgeon.

              Penile reconstruction.

              During the most recent years, a variety of new techniques of penile reconstruction have been described in the literature. This paper focuses on the most recent advances in male genital reconstruction after trauma, excision of benign and malignant disease, in gender reassignment surgery and aphallia with emphasis on surgical technique, cosmetic and functional outcome.
