Numerous techniques have been described for scrotal reconstruction reflecting the challenge and complexity, these defects present. This suggests that no single method is satisfactory for all types and varying degrees of skin loss. This retrospective study was conducted in the department of surgery NSCB medical college Jabalpur India, over a period of 3 years. The records of all the patients who underwent scrotal reconstruction were reviewed and data compiled. Twelve patients with only scrotal or penile injury and infection were included in the study and operated by different methods. Age of the patients ranged from 20-60 year. Five patients had traumatic loss of scrotal skin and 7 resulted following Fournier’s gangrene. All patients had loss of scrotal or penile skin.
