Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a surgical emergency. The main treatment plan for this disease includes several aggressive debridements, which lead to the development of massive soft-tissue defects in the affected area. Current literature describes various possible reconstructive options for the closure of those defects, yet, there is no evidence on which is the most efficient. Here we describe an unusual case of an otherwise healthy male presenting with a scrotal Fournier’s gangrene. In our case, the reconstruction was performed via anterolateral thigh flap. Due to a postoperative complication the flap was partly lost, however, consequences were managed successfully and a satisfactory result was achieved.

Achieving an aesthetic appearance of the scrotum after extensive Fournier’s gangrene is a reconstructive challenge. Testicular coverage is often prioritized over scrotal cosmesis due to the comorbidities typically seen in this patient population. We describe our treatment of a young, healthy male with extensive Fournier’s gangrene, with loss of the scrotum. Bilateral neurotized anterolateral thigh flaps were used to achieve a sensate and aesthetically acceptable result.
