Abstract

The gracilis myo-cutaneous flap was used in 4 patients to cover soft tissue defects of the perineal, scrotal, penile and inguinal regions after Fournier's gangrene. This is a simple technique, which allows a simultaneous reconstruction of the perineoscrotal region. Very satisfactory esthetic and functional results were obtained in the recipient and donor sites.
