Orandi Flap (Longitudinal Ventral Penile Skin Flap)
Described by Ahmad Orandi in 1970, this technique uses a longitudinal strip of non-hairbearing ventral penile skin based on a lateral subcutaneous pedicle to augment or replace a diseased urethral segment. The flap is raised with its fascial pedicle and rotated into position as an onlay or tube to reconstruct the penile urethra. The Orandi flap remains a useful option for penile urethral strictures in patients with healthy penile skin.
