Scrotal reconstruction and testicular prosthetics
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 ventral penile shaft. There are several effective and straightforward techniques used to revise this condition, which include simple scrotoplasty, single- or double-Z-plasty, or the VY-flap scrotoplasty. Reconstruction is also commonly indicated following scrotal skin loss caused by infection, trauma, lymphedema, hidradenitis, and cancer. Although initial management of these conditions often involves scrotal skin removal, repair of expansive scrotal skin loss can be technically difficult and can be accomplished by using one of several skin flaps or skin grafting. Split-thickness skin grafting of scrotal defects can be accomplished easily, and provides durable results.

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...

Mechanisms of testicular thermoregulation, the relationship of scrotal, testicular vascular cone (TVC), and testicular morphology with thermoregulatory capability, and their effects on semen quality and sperm production were studied in 20 Bos indicus, 28 crossbred, and 26 Bos taurus bulls. The ratio of testicular artery length and volume to testicular volume were larger (P<0.05) in B. indicus a...
متن کاملScrotal reconstruction using tissue expanders
The reconstruction of scrotal skin following trauma, infection or congenital anomalies of the genitalia often poses great difficulty for the plastic surgeon. The bacterial flora of the area, the peculiar anatomy of the male genitalia and the need for maintenance of testicular function in a normal, thermoregulatory space narrow the reconstructive alternatives and make aesthetic scrotal reconstru...
