[Phalloplasty: Microsurgical options and management algorithm].
Annales de Chirurgie Plastique et Esthétique 2017 December
The free radial forearm flap is considered as the gold standard in penile reconstruction for good functional and aesthetic results. The scar on donor site could be considered as pathognomonic of their situation by transsexual patients. The development of microsurgical flaps provides new therapeutic options. This options are discussed and a therapeutic algorithm is presented. The main techniques used are the pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap and free muscle sparing latissimus dorsi flap. Principal criteria are listed, the choice of patient and the local anatomical conditions are the most important. Antebrachial flap stay the first choice. In case of non-feasibility of this flap, phalloplasty with pedicle ALT flap or free MSLD flap will be proposed. Urethral reconstruction will be done by a narrow free forearm flap or by a delayed thin skin graft or buccal mucosa graft. Microsurgical phalloplasty options are not limited to the forearm flap. Satisfactory results can be obtained using alternative procedure. The use of a therapeutic algorithm allows to choose the most optimal solution for each patient.
