چکیده
Penile augmentation by the injection of mineral oil provokes many serious, undesirable effects. Although there are reports of complications such as deformity, ulceration, necrosis, and erectile dysfunction, Fournier's gangrene resulting from the injection of petroleum jelly into the penis has not been reported. Here, we present a 42-year-old man with penile vaselinoma causing Fournier's gangrene which was treated successfully with aggressive surgical debridement, followed by penoscrotal reconstruction using groin and bilateral superomedial thigh flaps.

INTRODUCTION Fournier's gangrene is a poly-microbial necrotizing fasciitis that involves the perineum and/or external genitalia. Urgent surgical debridement is well recognized as essential acute treatment yet unique challenges arise for plastic surgical reconstruction to obtain a complete functional recovery. This case describes a successful delayed pedicle flap repair based upon the anterior a...
متن کاملThe superomedial thigh flap in scrotal reconstruction: Technical steps to improve cosmetic results
The superomedial thigh flap is a reliable and easy method for scrotal reconstruction described in 1980 and infrequently reported in the literature since its description. We used it for four patients presenting scrotal defects after Fournier's gangrene with some technical modifications to improve the esthetic results and to facilitate the closure of the donor area. We describe the technical step...
متن کاملCoverage of the scrotum after Fournier’s gangrene
Background: Fournier's gangrene is a necrotizing fasciitis caused by mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and results in loss of skin and subcutaneous tissue in the perineal area. Coverage of testis varies from closure of the defect primarily, burying inside the thigh, using the remnants of the scrotum for tissue expansion and coverage by flaps. In this manuscript, scrotal advancement flaps and...

A 39-year-old male patient presented with an extensive putrescent ulceration of abdominoperineal region infiltrated by advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, it is the largest defect after aggressive palliative resection of penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) in the literature, which was 36×23 cm. The defect was divided into three sub-defects, and was repaired by bil...
متن کاملScrotal Reconstruction with Integra Following Necrotizing Fasciitis
Scrotal loss from Fournier's gangrene can be a devastating injury with esthetic and functional consequences. Local reconstructive options can be limited by the presence of infection or the loss of neighboring tissue from debridement. IntegraTM bilayer matrix wound dressing is a well-established reconstructive modality, but only one report exists of its use in scrotal reconstruction and this was...
