INTRODUCTION: Improper penile assessment, together with carrying out circumcision by an inexperienced person, results in major complications. One of the complex complications is the complete or sub-complete penile skin loss, which in many cases, necessitates one or staged repair.
PURPOSE: To evaluate modified one-stage bilateral anterolateral scrotal-based flaps to compensate for penile skin loss after circumcision.
METHODS: This study was performed on patients with almost penile skin loss after circumcision from February 2013 to July 2021. In all cases, one-stage modified bilateral anterolateral scrotal skin flaps were used to compensate for penile skin loss. The modification includes scrotal skin flap fashioning in a novel way, in addition to the use of penodermal fixation sutures at the penoscrotal junction, to create a stable penoscrotal junction and new penile skin coverage. Patients were discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery. The dressing was left for 5 days. Follow-up visits were scheduled weekly in the first month, 3 and 6 months later, then annually.
RESULTS: Forty-six children were included in this study. Their mean age was 4.5 ± 1.5 years. The mean operative time was 139.6 ± 11.5 min. No flap ischemia or necrosis was reported. One case (2.2%) developed a scrotal hematoma managed conservatively. Three (6.5%) cases presented with wound dehiscence at the penoscrotal angle. Three (6.5%) cases had self-limited penile edema. Two (4.3%) cases had dorsal midline hypertrophic scar; one improved after treatment with triamcinolone acetonide ointment, and the other needed scar revision. The mean follows up was 23.33 ± 9.13 months.
CONCLUSION: The modified scrotal skin flap technique provides a good substitution for stable penile skin coverage and a one-stage reconstruction of penile skin loss. It results in good parents' satisfaction with acceptable complications.
