Abstract
The anatomic restrictions produced by male to female gender reassignment surgery necessitated a new surgical solution to treat a traumatic posterior urethral stricture. Aesthetic considerations were of paramount importance to the patient. A unique use of the pudendal thigh fasciocutaneous flap is presented which satisfied the reconstructive needs of well-vascularized tissue for reconstruction of the posterior urethral segment, and addressed the patient's aesthetic concerns. Correction of the posterior urethral stricture was successful, and the flap donor site inconspicuous. This procedure has not been described previously for urethral reconstruction and is an additional regional source of vascularized tissue for urethral repair.
