“…Several techniques have been described mainly involving a microvascular transfer of musculocutaneous flaps [6]. The latter include the radial forearm flap, the fibular flap, the extended pedicle island groin flap, or the latissimus dorsi flap [10][11][12][13]. More recently, De Castro et al [14] described a technique for patients with penile agenesis in which the phalloplasty is performed by tubularization of a flap of skin and subcutaneous fat elevated from the pubic region, similar to the one we used for skin coverage in our case 1.…”

All the aforementioned techniques often cause a large and unpleasant donor site scar, and the neophallus has no erectile function, thus requiring implantation of prosthesis [13].…”

Technical advances in penile reconstruction have been highlighted. The few long-term follow-up studies available confirm the difficulty of such surgery, in terms of complications and the limits of the final achievable outcomes. The surgery necessitates several steps and a high number of revisions. Scientific progress in penile reconstruction seems slow, with a lack of controlled studies, high rate of loss to follow-up (especially in sex reassignment surgery) and a lack of validated assessment measures. However, a few recent studies are making the problems clearer, especially in patient selection and the avoidance of raising false expectations in patients.

“…Flap components can be customized depending on the needs of the defect to include any or all of the following: skin paddle(s), fascia, and vastus lateralis muscle. The pedicled ALT flap though not as popular, has been used for the reconstruction of defects from mid-leg to the epigastrium (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). There is limited literature on the use of the ALT flap in black Africans (1)(2)(3).…”

Background: The free anterolateral thigh flap with its large caliber vessels, a reliable skin territory and minimal donor site morbidity is the reconstructive surgeons' workhorse. The pedicled flap though not as popular, has been used extensively for the reconstruction of defects from the mid-leg to the epigastrium. The favorable profile of the anterolateral thigh flap, with minimal variability of its vascular anatomy and donor site complications is well described in most races; literature of its use in sub-Saharan Africa is scanty. Methods: The author describes the use of the anterolateral thigh flap in a series of 17 patients in a rural African hospital, illustrating its versatility as well as the complications associated with its use in this patient population. Results: Seventeen patients with
