Propeller Flap Urethroplasty
The propeller flap is a perforator-based fasciocutaneous flap harvested from the perineum or inner thigh that rotates around a single perforator vessel to reach the urethral defect. This technique avoids large donor-site wounds and provides pliable, well-vascularized tissue for urethral reconstruction in complex or recurrent cases. It is particularly useful when conventional penile or buccal mucosal options have been exhausted.
