Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this study is to present a reliable method of scrotal reconstruction. Methods: 75 year - old - man visited the out patient department of urology for chronic itching sensation in his scrotal area, diagnosed as Bowen's disease. After the wide resection of scrotal lesion, reconstruction was carried with pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap. All operation procedure was done with an usual manner, previously reported. Donor site was closed primarily. Results: In 6th month follow - up period, there was no event, such as flap necrosis, wound dehiscence, tumor recurrence. And tactile sensation was recovered. Conclusion: In the Korean literature, there have not been the report that describes the reconstruction of scrotal defect using pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap. Pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap is reliable and robust flap for scrotal reconstruction.
