Abstract
Reconstruction of perineal and groin defects is a challenging problem. Commonly used methods of reconstruction include skin grafts and local flaps. The groin flap is a vascularized axial flap based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery arising from the femoral artery just below the inguinal ligament. Due to the location, the donor defect can usually be closed primarily, leaving an acceptable scar. The use of bilateral groin flaps for coverage of defects of the anterior perineum following excision of condylomas is reported.Entities:
