Abstract

The use of a gracilis myocutaneous flap to overlay an extensively traumatized scrotoperineal soft tissue defect, through which both testes and the ruptured bulbous urethra were exposed, is discussed. The transplanted gracilis myocutaneous flap, which included vascularized and innervated tissue, was well taken and covered the perineal defect, exposed testes and urethral stricture both cosmetically and functionally.
