[Clinical applications of the scrotal skin flaps pedicled on lateral branches of the posterior scrotal arteries].
OBJECTIVE
To provide ideal materials for resurfacing penile ventral wounds.


METHODS
For hypospadias with scrotal fissure and penile-scrotal transposition, scrotal skin flaps based on lateral branches of posterior scrotal arteries were utilized to resurface penile ventral wounds when urethral reconstruction were finished.


RESULTS
9 cases of hypospadias of different types have been treated with the method mentioned above. All flaps survived and good results achieved.


CONCLUSIONS
For hypospadias with scrotal fissure and penile-scrotal transposition, scrotal skin flaps pedicled on lateral branches of posterior scrotal arteries can not only resurface penile ventral wounds, but also correct scrotal fissure and penile-scrotal transposition simultaneously.
