Abstract：Objective:To analyze the causes of skin necrosis after penis lengthening surgery and corresponding treatment meas-ures,and observe the clinical effect of free skin graft repair in the treatment of penile skin defects.Methods:We retrospectively an-alyzed the clinical data on 12 cases of extensive penile skin necrosis and defect after penis lengthening surgery performed in our depart-ment from January 2017 to January 2022.The patients underwent free skin graft repair with medium-or full-thickness skin grafts from the thigh after wound preparation.Results:The skin grafts survived well in all the 12 patients and the incisions healed in the first stage without any complications.At 6 months after surgery,skin sensation was mostly recovered in the area of penis skin grafting,no obvious skin ulceration or edema was observed,and the appearance of the penis was satisfactory.The IIEF-5 scores,Erectile Hardness Scale(EHS)scores,and the results of penile hardness tests of the patients all indicated normal erectile function.Conclusion:Free skin graft repair with autologous medium-or full-thickness skin grafts is a safe and effective surgical option for extensive penile skin necrosis after penis lengthening surgery.
