title: Reconstruction of the scrotum by thigh flaps.
abstract: We have done four cases of scrotal reconstruction. In these patients, the scrotal skin was lost as a result of either gangrene of the scrotum or from trauma, surgical or mechanical. The technique of coverage by thigh flaps is a single-staged operation. It gives a pleasing appearance to the genitalia and maintains the testicular function.
