title: [Penile reconstruction by using a scapular free flap].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the scapular free flap for penile reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Six patients with penile loss were reconstructed by transferring a scapular free flap with implanting a Malleable penile prosthesis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All of the flaps survived completely. With the follow-ups from six to twelve months, the reconstructed penile had excellent configuration and good function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The above mentioned technique could be a good method for penile reconstruction.
