The penile and scrotal skin are often resected after vulvar necrotizing fasciitis, so functional and aesthetic vulvar reconstruction is extremely challenging. With widespread and deepened infections, urethral fistulas can develop, forcing penis and scrotal amputations. In cases complicated with a urethral fistula, the wound cannot be treated by simple skin graft surgery, and complicated flap surgery is required. We verified that urethral functional reconstruction using a pedicled thigh flap is a useful technique for managing urethral cutaneous fistulas that develop after necrotizing fasciitis.
外阴坏死性筋膜炎后常需切除阴茎和阴囊皮肤,因此功能性和美观性的外阴重建极具挑战性。随着感染的广泛和加深,可出现尿道瘘,导致阴茎和阴囊截肢。在合并尿道瘘的病例中,伤口不能通过简单的植皮手术治疗,需要进行复杂的皮瓣手术。我们证实,使用带蒂大腿皮瓣进行尿道功能重建是治疗坏死性筋膜炎后发生的尿道皮肤瘘的一种有效技术。
