“…The flap can be lifted with several components, including skin, subcutaneous, muscle, nerve, and the fascia of the tensor fascia lata muscle, which is an advantage in cases that involve defects of the lower abdominal wall (28,43,44). It can be tunneled to the inguinal region through a tunnel in the subcutaneous or deep to the rectus femoris and sartorius muscles to increase the length of the pedicle (36,37,43,45). It is an excellent option because of its proximity to the donor area and because of the long and constant pedicle that can reach 14-16cm in length (30).…”

“…The transfer of perforating flaps to the inguinal region is an advantageous alternative as it reduces the morbidity of the donor site when harvesting the flap without harming the adjacent musculature and its main vessels (39,45). The perforating flap of the deep lower epigastric artery reduces the morbidity of the abdominal wall, but its skin island is considerably smaller than the one of the VRAM flap (34,43).…”

Purpose: Reviewing surgical procedures using fasciocutaneous and myocutaneous flaps for inguinal reconstruction after lymphadenectomy in metastatic penile cancer. Material and Methods: We reviewed the current literature of the Pubmed database according to PRISMA guidelines. The search terms used were “advanced penile cancer”, “groin reconstruction”, and “inguinal reconstruction”, both alone and in combination. The bibliographic references used in the selected articles were also analyzed to include recent articles into our research. Results: A total of 54 studies were included in this review. About one third of penile cancers are diagnosed with locally advanced disease, often presenting with large lymph node involvement. Defects in the inguinal region resulting from the treatment of metastatic penile cancer are challenging for the surgeon and cause high patient morbidity, rendering primary closure unfeasible. Several fasciocutaneous and myocutaneous flaps of the abdomen and thigh can be used for the reconstruction of the inguinal region, transferring tissue to the affected area, and enabling tensionless closure. Conclusions: The reconstruction of defects in the inguinal region with the aid of flaps allows for faster postoperative recovery and reduces the risk of complications. Thus, the patient will be able to undergo potential necessary adjuvant treatments sooner.

“…Published flap choices for pelvic reconstruction currently include the anterolateral thigh flap, the vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, the gracilis, and the gluteal fasciocutaneous flap. 6 In particular, the anterolateral thigh flap has been used for groin reconstruction 7 in ways that minimize morbidity of donor location and simplify the postoperative course. 8 …”

Summary:The authors present a new technique in surgically treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a debilitating skin condition. In HS, surgical treatment is often the best option because of the high recurrence rates despite extensive medical treatment. A commonly successful surgical method is using skin flaps after excision of the affected area. A superficial inferior epigastric artery flap is demonstrated here as a new alternative approach to treating a case of extensive HS of the groin. By using the pedicled superficial inferior epigastric artery flap for groin reconstruction, inguinal HS can be widely excised and reconstructed with minimal donor-site morbidity and a good aesthetic outcome.
