Description
Summary:Following a snake bite to the penis, a 69 years old man presented a large defect of hemicircumferential ventral penis, destroying the penile urethra along its entire length exposing the erectile bodies. The authors proposed a two-stage reconstruction of the urethra with an inguinal axial pedicle flap of Mac Gregor. This well-vascularized flap thick after degreasing helped repair the penile urethra along its entire length and make up losses of substance with a good functional and aesthetic result.
