title: [Secondary reconstruction after burns of the anogenital area].
abstract: The incidence of burns of the genitalia and peri-anal region which may cause a reconstructive intervention is very low. In the most cases the use of split thickness skin grafts yields a sufficient permanent wound closure. Upcoming problems such as painful scare formation require a reconstructive intervention (Z-plasty, full thickness skin grafting, pedicled flaps etc.). In case that the anal sphincter is involved with the consequence of incontinence or major damage of the genitalia occurred, sophisticated operative solutions are necessary.
