“…The SCIP flap is commonly used in the form of a free flap, and there are few reports discussing the application of the SCIP as a propeller type. These reports are especially rare for perineal reconstruction (Boissière et al, ; Han et al, ; Koshima et al, ; Luca‐Pozner et al, ). When the SCIP flap is used as a free flap, it does not need to be buried in a subcutaneous tunnel following rotation.…”

Background Successful penoscrotal reconstruction requires proper resurfacing of the defect and maintenance of the original shape of the penis and scrotum. We examined the feasibility of using the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) propeller flap to effectively reconstruct penoscrotal defects. Methods Eleven male patients with an average age of 62.2 years were retrospectively evaluated. The average defect size was 21.3 × 10.5 cm2 (range: 10 × 8–24 × 16 cm2). An eccentrically located elliptical flap was constructed using a handheld Doppler device after detecting the perforator as the pivot point. The medial branch of the superficial circumflex iliac artery was used for all cases. Flaps were designed to cover 70–80% of the defect area and the average rotation arc was 165°. Results The average flap dimension was 19.7 × 7.7 cm2. Two cases showed partial necrosis in the flap tip area. There were no instances of total flap loss or lymphorrhea, or complications such as scar contracture, urination problems, erectile dysfunction, or discomfort during intercourse. Conclusions The SCIP flap is an effective and ideal method for penoscrotal reconstruction considering the loose, elastic, and thin nature of the tissue. Elevation is easily facilitated, and the thickness of the SCIP flap can be adjusted without microsurgery.

“…Free flap urethral reconstruction has been described predominantly in oncological cases, but also as salvage option after partial necrosis of the neourethral part of a tube‐in‐tube phalloplasty (Camp, Cartwright, & Siddiqi, ; Dabernig, Shelley, Cuccia, & Schaff, ; Lee, Hur, Song, & Tark, 2001; Tchang et al, ). Single‐stage double flap phalloplasty with free or pedicled flap urethral reconstruction has been described only in case reports and small case series (Harashina et al, ; Koshima et al, ; Yoo, Shin, and Lee, ). For urethral reconstruction, use of the RFFF, gracilis flap, ulnar flap and pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap (SCIPF) were described.…”

Double flap phalloplasty in transgender men: Surgical technique and outcome of pedicled anterolateral thigh flap phalloplasty combined with radial forearm free flap urethral reconstruction

et al. 2017

IntroductionRadial forearm free flap (RFFF) tube‐in‐tube phalloplasty is the most performed phalloplasty technique worldwide. The conspicuous donor‐site scar is a drawback for some transgender men. In search for techniques with less conspicuous donor‐sites, we performed a series of one‐stage pedicled anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) phalloplasties combined with RFFF urethral reconstruction. In this study, we aim to describe this technique and assess its surgical outcome in a series of transgender men.Patients and MethodsBetween January 2008 and December 2015, nineteen transgender men (median age 37, range 21–57) underwent pedicled ALT phalloplasty combined with RFFF urethral reconstruction in one stage. The surgical procedure was described. Patient demographics, surgical characteristics, intra‐ and postoperative complications, hospitalization length, and reoperations were recorded.ResultsThe size of the ALT flaps ranged from 12 × 12 to 15 × 13 cm, the size of the RFFFs from 14 × 3 to 17 × 3 cm. Median clinical follow‐up was 35 months (range 3–95). Total RFFF failure occurred in two patients, total ALT flap failure in one patient, and partial necrosis of the ALT flap in one patient. Long‐term urinary complications occurred in 10 (53%) patients, of which 9 concerned urethral strictures.ConclusionsIn experienced hands, one‐stage pedicled ALT phalloplasty combined with RFFF urethral reconstruction is a feasible alternative surgical option in eligible transgender men, who desire a less conspicuous forearm scar. Possible drawbacks comprise flap‐related complications, difficult inner flap monitoring and urethral complications.

“…They are used in a variety of reconstructions, including limb, head and neck, external auditory canal, and pudendal reconstruction. 6–9 Although not as commonly used as anterolateral thigh flaps and deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flaps, its merits include its thinness, short surgical duration, and less invasiveness at the donor site. These characteristics make the SCIP flap especially suitable for dorsalis pedis reconstruction.…”

Summary:Reconstruction of dorsalis pedis with soft tissue is challenging because it needs to preserve thin structure to ensure that the patient will be able to wear shoes. Here, we report the use of a thin superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap in dorsalis pedis reconstruction. A 67-year-old man presented with a third-degree burn, which exposed his extensor tendons. A thin SCIP flap from the left inguinal region measuring 15 × 4 cm was transferred to the dorsalis pedis region. Postoperatively, no major cosmetic or functional problems were observed. Because the invasiveness of the donor site is nearly same between SCIP flap and skin graft from inguinal region, SCIP flap is better solution in point of textural qualities for dorsalis pedis reconstruction.
