One-stage reconstruction of the scrotum following Fournier's syndrome using a probable arterial flap.
A one-stage procedure is described for restoring the scrotum in a patient who suffered from Fournier's gangrene. The proximal superiomedial-based thigh flaps employed are most likely arterial flaps. These flaps are also well innervated, which makes them ideal for the purpose of scrotal reconstruction.
