Resumen

La gangrena de Fournier (GF) es una enfermedad infecciosa rara y potencialmente fatal, caracterizada por fascitis necrótica del periné y la pared abdominal junto con el escroto y el pene en los varones y la vulva en las mujeres. La pérdida de piel puede ser muy incapacitante y de difícil resolución. El tratamiento de esta entidad debe ser agresivo. Se han usado varias técnicas para reconstruir la pérdida de tejidos: injertos cutáneos, transposición de los testículos y del cordón para una bolsa subcutánea en el muslo, colgajo pediculado musculocutáneo, fasciocutáneo o varios otros tipos de colgajo pediculados miocutáneos.

El pedículo cutáneo superomedial del muslo es un pedículo arterial probable y demostró ser un método eficaz en la reconstrucción de grandes defectos escrotales.

Abstract

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare and potentially fatal infectious disease characterised by necrotic fasciitis of the perineum and abdominal wall in addition to the scrotum and penis in men and the vulva in women. Skin loss can be very damaging and difficult to repair. This condition must be treated aggressively. Several techniques are used to reconstruct lost tissue: skin grafts, transposition of the testicles and spermatic cords to a subcutaneous pocket in the upper thigh, scrotal musculocutaneous flaps, fasciocutaneous flaps and several other types of pediculated myocutaneous flaps are all employed.

The supero-medial thigh skin flap is a likely arterial flap and has been shown to be an effective method for reconstructing large scrotal defects.
