ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We present a simple, reliable method of scrotal and penile reconstruction yielding satisfactory cosmetic and functional results for patients with disabling chronic genital lymphedema.METHODS:
Nine patients were treated with wide excision of the affected genital skin and subsequent coverage of exposed areas with split-thickness skin grafts in a single-stage procedure.RESULTS:
All patients have had excellent cosmetic results without recurrence of genital lymphedema or compromise of sexual function postoperatively.CONCLUSIONS:
Single-stage reconstruction for idiopathic genital lymphedema by radical skin excision and split-thickness skin grafting provides gratifying functional and cosmetic results.
