Modified pudendal thigh flap for perineoscrotal reconstruction: a case of Leriche syndrome with rapidly progressing Fournier's gangrene

Urology. 2004 Nov;64(5):1030. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2004.05.027.

Abstract

We present the first report of Leriche syndrome associated with Fournier's gangrene. We used a modified pudendal thigh flap in the treatment of an extensive perineoscrotal soft-tissue defect successfully. We propose this new robust flap as an addition to the existing reconstructive armamentarium and draw attention to the coexistence of Leriche syndrome and Fournier's gangrene.
