Résumé
Radical surgical debridement after Fournier gangrene (FG) can totally change anatomical balance between structures and compromise urogenital function. This is particularly true when the suspensory ligament and the lower abdominal wall are involved, leading to erection and sexual intercourse dysfunction.We present the case of a 48-year-old man, who underwent emergency debridement and split-thickness skin graft (STSG) of inferior abdominal wall, pubis, scrotal bag and penile shaft after Fournier gangrene.Five months after the emergency procedure, bilateral medial thigh flaps recreated the scrotal compartment, whereas a pedicled composite anterolateral thigh flap including fascia lata could cover the lower abdominal wall and rebuilt the penile suspensory ligament (PSL).Healing was uneventful and the patient returned to a normal sexual life with satisfactory erection and intercourse.Composite and/or chimeric anterolateral thigh fascia lata flaps have been previously used as a reliable option for complex defects, including tendon and ligaments. We describe here, the first case in the literature of a penile suspensory ligament reconstruction.
