Quartey 'Q' Flap

The Quartey flap, also called the 'Q' flap, uses a full-thickness quadrilateral penile skin island based on a subcutaneous vascular pedicle to repair penile urethral strictures. The flap design allows harvest of a substantial skin segment that can be configured as an onlay or tube graft. Its reliable vascularity makes it applicable to moderate-length strictures of the penile urethra.
