Purpose: We have many choices of surgical methods with scrotal reconstruction after Fournier’s gangrene. From the aesthetic perspective, the reconstruction method with anterolateral thigh perforator pedicled flap is better than other options. We report our experience with postoperative results and aesthetics of the anterolateral thigh perforator pedicled flap.
Materials and Methods: From November 2011 to May 2013, 4 patients underwent anterolateral thigh perforator pedicled flaps. The authors checked the aesthetic results and occurrence of complications at follow-up exams.
Results: There was no total or partial necrosis of flap among the four patients. The only complication was wound dehiscence followed by infection that healed secondarily during the follow-up period.
Conclusions: Anterolateral thigh perforator pedicled flap is a very useful choice for surgery at the defect caused by Fournier’s gangrene because it is relatively thin, offering an excellent aesthetic result.
Keywords: Fournier gangrene; Surgical flaps

서 론
푸르니에 괴저는 회음부 주위에 발생되는 연부조직 감염증 의 하나로 빨리 진행되고 비교적 사망률이 높은 질환이다.
남성의 경우 음낭이 파괴되는 경우가 많으며 파괴된 음낭의 재건은 기능적으로나 정신과적으로 중요하고 미용적인 회복 도 고려해야 한다.
푸르니에 괴저로 발생된 음낭의 결손을 재건하는 방법으로
는 피부이식, 국소피판, 유경피판, 유리피판 등을 사용할 수
있는데, 재건이 필요한 음낭 주위는 소변이나 대변 등에 의해서
오염될 위험이 높고 감염증으로 인한 종창 등으로 건조한
상태로 유지하기 힘들 뿐 만 아니라 고환이 노출된 경우가
대부분이다.

피판술보다는 원거리 피판술이나 유리피판술을 사용하는 것
