Abstract
Purpose We describe our technique of scrotal epilation and the advantages of using the resultant glabrous scrotal skin in reconstructive urethral surgery. Materials and Methods An insulated needle model adapted to scrotal hair characteristics and a thermocoagulation current generator were used. Results An average of 3 epilatory sessions with a 4-week interval between treatments was the optimal schedule. No cutaneous infection was noted. Conclusions The good results permitted the conversion of predetermined scrotal zones into wide areas of alopecia to be used as excellent skin flaps in complex urethral stenosis surgery in postpubertal male patients.
