Introduction |
Skin grafting of penile defects is difficult because of the flexibility of the underlying recipient bed. This leads to disruption of the vascular ingrowth into the skin graft and compromises the results of the reconstruction.
Technical Considerations |
We successfully used a vacuum-assisted closure dressing with an incorporated wooden framework to secure penile skin grafts in place during the early postoperative period.
Conclusions |
A vacuum-assisted closure dressing can be used successfully to secure large and circumferential skin grafts, as well as skin grafts on concealed penises.
