摘要
Phalloplasty is a complex set of procedures used in efforts to improve the anatomical,physiological,and aesthetic deficiencies caused by loss or absence of the penis.Methods have evolved significantly,and the use of free tissue transfer has become common amongst reconstructive surgeons.The inclusion of bone autograft,usually radius or fibula,within the neophallus has caused significant morbidity,and efforts continue to find the optimal solution.We present a novel approach using a pre-fabricated,radial forearm fasciocutaneous free flap containing cadaveric bone graft for phalloplasty following traumatic penis amputation.
