Herein, we describe a perineum-based pediculated scrotal flap procedure for urethral reconstruction. A scrotal tubular flap was used as a substitute to correct a proximal penile urethral stricture in case 1. In case 2, a scrotal island patch was performed to treat an iatrogenic penile urethral injury. In both cases, the urethral catheter was removed on postoperative day 14 with simultaneous nor...
