Abstract
Purpose: Lymphedema of the scrotum and penis is a
functionally and emotionally incapacitating problem for
patients. Patients suffer pain from swelling, chronic irritation,
repeated infections, drainage, and sexual dysfunction.
Although there are various methods for the treatment
of scrotal and penial lymphedema, achieving a satisfactory
reconstruction in severe cases still remains a challenge
due to the lack of locally available tissue.
Methods: A 33-year-old man sustained severe
lymphedema of the scrotum and penis. He reported a
history of swelling since 25 years, which had been intensified
during the past few months. There was no history of
irritation, surgery, trauma, infection or travel to endemic
countries. The authors reconstructed the scrotum and
penis using 4 scrotal flaps made by incising the enlarged
scrotum crucially.
Results: The postoperative course was uneventful.
Histopathologic examination showed nonspecific chronic
inflammation. The patient was followed up for 18 months
and a good reconstructive result was obtained with no
recurrence.
Conclusion: The authors’ method is safe and easy to
perform. This method may be a convenient and reliable
alternative for the treatment of severe lymphedema of the
scrotum and penis.
