We present a 42-year-old man requiring bilateral groin dissection for recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. Tissue cover was obtained using a pedicled vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap. This case is made interesting by the use of a unilateral flap to cover a large bilateral lower abdominal tissue defect, enabling minimal weakening of the abdominal wall, primary skin closure, and allowing early mobilization and hospital discharge.
