Lotus petal flaps for scrotal reconstruction combined with Integra™ resurfacing of the penis and anterior abdominal wall following necrotising fasciitis

SummaryNecrotising fasciitis of the external genitalia following routine circumcision is uncommon. We describe reconstruction of the scrotum with local perforator flaps and a dermal regeneration template (Integra™) to cover the penile shaft after debridement.Lotus petal flaps were originally designed to cover vulvo-vaginal defects, but in this instance integrated well with the remaining scrotal sac to produce a good volume neoscrotum for testicular cover. Integra™ creates an acceptable neodermis usually to cover areas of debrided full thickness burns. In this case, Integra™ adequately replaced the mobile dermal layer over Bucks fascia over the penis to create a pliable and cosmetically acceptable result with erectile capability.
