Abstract
This case study describes a patient who experienced an iatrogenic urethral injury because of a Fournier gangrene debridement. Because of the extent of the debridement, which resected all penile and scrotal dartos tissue, no local flaps that would typically be used to reconstruct a urethral disruption were possible. The authors chose to use a prefabricated pedicled gracilis flap to restore urethral continuity.
