RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Fournier's gangrene, a rare infectious condition affecting the external genitalia, often requires aggressive medical-surgical interventions, resulting in variable scrotal tissue loss. Despite numerous proposed reconstruction techniques, achieving a consensus on the most effective approach that balances aesthetics and function remains elusive. This case report presents a one-year follow-up on scrotal reconstruction using a pedicled Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator (SCIP) propeller flap. CASE REPORT: A 56-year-old patient with significant scrotal tissue loss due to Fournier's gangrene underwent scrotal reconstruction using a pedicled SCIP propeller flap. Optimal placement was ensured through a subcutaneous tunnel, with a thin thigh skin graft applied to cover the penile skin defect. DISCUSSION: The SCIP flap is distinguished by its thin and pliable characteristics, rapid harvesting and featuring a discreet donor site. It stands as a compelling alternative to skin grafts, providing advantages in sensory restoration, color congruence, and resilience against tension. Considering the thickness of the reconstruction helps both in recovering testicular function and improving the appearance by restoring the natural contour. CONCLUSION: The utilization of the pedicled SCIP propeller flap for scrotal tissue loss resulting from Fournier's gangrene has demonstrated both aesthetic and functional success, underscoring its potential as an effective reconstructive option.
