Preconstruction of the Pars Pendulans Urethrae for Phalloplasty with Digestive Mucosa Using a Prefabricated Anterolateral Thigh Flap in a One-arm Patient

摘要

Summary:We herein report a successful preconstruction of the pars pendulans urethrae with the ileum mucosa for phalloplasty in a one-arm patient using a prefabricated anterolateral thigh flap. After a 2-stage operation and an 18-month follow-up, the patient achieved a good postoperative appearance and an excellent function of neophallus. We believe the use of digestive mucosa for urethral reconstruction enlightens us and deserves further comprehensive clinical studies.
