Reconstruction of Scrotal Sac and Penis with Biological Prosthesis and Vacuum Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fournier's gangrene is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis, involving perineal, perianal, or genital regions, and it constitutes a true surgical emergency. Surgical excision of all necrotic tissue is required, and multiple debridements may be necessary to remove all nonviable tissue. After surgical intervention for debridement, reconstruction may be necessary. We present our experience in the treatment of tissue loss after Fournier's gangrene of genital and perianal regions with the use of biological mesh (derma porcine mesh) in association with vacuum-assisted closure therapy.

متن کاملScrotal reconstruction and testicular prosthetics
Scrotal surgery encompasses a wide-variety of surgical techniques for an even wider variety of indications. In this manuscript, we review our indications, techniques, and pit-falls for various reconstructive scrotal surgeries as-well-as surgical tips for placement of testicular prostheses. Penoscrotal webbing (PSW) is an abnormal, often-problematic distal insertion of scrotal skin onto the vent...
متن کاملMechanism of Penile Prosthesis Induced Urethral Stricture: Treatment and Prevention
The advent of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor has revolutionized the management of erectile dysfunction (ED). Since the introduction of sildenafil citrate in 1998, oral systemic therapy has become the first line therapy for men with ED. However, oral pharmacotherapy often fails in patients with severe diabetes, radical prostatectomy, Peyronie’s disease, and severe penile fibrosis. These pati...
متن کاملScrotal Abscess Precipitating Late Infection of a Malleable Penile Prosthesis: The Risk Never Evanesces.
Although infrequent, infections represent the dreadful complication of penile prosthesis implantation. The incidence substantially decreases after a few infection-free postoperative months. We report herein a case of a very late penile prosthesis infection from a fistualizing scrotal abscess in a 67-year-old man. The patient presented with a one-month history of persistent penile-base discharge...

A 65-year-old man presented in Beira Central Hospital, Mozambique, with a right scrotal mass (diameter 80 x 80 cm), evolved over 15 years. The patient could barely move, and his weight at admission was 142 kg (Fig 1A and 1B). History of previous diseases was unremarkable, his general condition was good, and he had normal vital parameters. Physical examination showed wrinkled and thickened scrot...
