ABSTRACT
We describe our experience with 20 patients undergoing 1-stage scrotal island flap urethroplasty for severe bulbomembranous stricture disease. While 16 patients achieved satisfactory results, 4 required revision for recurrent stricture, diverticulum or fistula. Use of hairless skin and aggressive tailoring of the flap are stressed to avoid the common complications of diverticulum, hair ball and stone formation. This highly vascularized pedicle represents a reasonable alternative to staged repair when local tissue scarring is great and free full thickness skin graft viability is questionable.
