Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Pedicled superficial inferior epigastric artery perforator flap for salvage of failed metoidioplasty in female‐to‐male transsexuals Beteiligte: Schmidt, Manfred; Grohmann, Martin; Huemer, Georg M. Erschienen: Wiley, 2015 Erschienen in: Microsurgery, 35 (2015) 5, Seite 403-406 Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/micr.22361 ISSN: 0738-1085; 1098-2752 Schlagwörter: Surgery Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: Metoidioplasty represents a viable option for female‐to‐male transsexual patients seeking gender reassignment surgery. The aim of this procedure is to create a microphallus with lengthening of the urethra to the tip of the hypertrophied and released clitoris. However, fistula formation and urethral obstruction might occur in the long term and reconstruction represents a challenging problem in this setting. In this report, we present the tubed superficial inferior epigastric artery perforator island flap as an option for urethral reconstruction after failed metoidioplasty in a female‐to‐male transsexual patient. In a 26‐year‐old transsexual patient a combination of urethral fistula, urethral stenosis, and disintegrated distal neourethra had developed as a consequence of postoperative hematoma formation. Metoidioplasty was reconstructed by means of a tubed, pedicled superficial inferior epigastric artery perforator flap from the left lower abdomen. The long‐term result was stable with pleasing genital appearance, adequate functional outcome, and satisfactory donor site morbidity. In our opinion, this procedure may represent a viable alternative for urethral reconstruction in thin patients. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microsurgery 35:403–406, 2015.
