Abstract
Reconstruction of the burned penile urethra has received scant attention in the surgical literature. Techniques used in repairing congenital hypospadias may not be applicable in this situation. We describe a dartos musculocutaneous island flap used to reconstruct the distal burned penile urethra in a 13-year-old boy who sustained burns to 85% of his total body surface area. Reconstruction was completed in one surgical procedure, and at two-year follow-up good results were demonstrated.
