Fasciocutaneous flap of the inner thigh for scrotal reconstruction in Fournier syndrome

Fournier syndrome is a severe disease that should be treated aggressively with debridement and broad-spectrum antibiotics. It usually causes loss of a large area of tissue and may spread to other areas beyond the perineum such as the abdomen, lower limbs, dorsum, chest, and retroperitoneum. The loss of the scrotum is a common condition in this pathology. Two cases of scrotum reconstruction with the fasciocutaneous flap of the inner thighs with excellent recovery, good aesthetic results, and few complications are reported.
