| Popis: |
Lymphedema is originated from the reduced lymphatic flow, causing a volumetric increase in the affected region and is physically and emotionally uncomfortable. Surgical intervention is considered the best treatment option as it brings both functional and aesthetic benefits. This is a report from the case of a previously healthy 45-year-old man who developed idiopathic penoscrotal giant lymphedema. A surgical approach was proposed. There was resection of scrotal lymphedema followed by a classic postectomy, suprapubic advancement flaps, and use of a partial skin graft from the right thigh. The results of the therapeutic approach were aesthetically and functionally satisfactory. |
