Singapore Flap Urethroplasty
The Singapore flap, originally described for vaginal reconstruction, uses a pedicled fasciocutaneous island from the medial thigh based on the posterior labial or perineal perforators. When applied to urethral reconstruction, it provides a robust, well-vascularized segment of hairless skin suitable for complex perineal urethral defects. It is particularly valuable in cases requiring simultaneous urethral and perineal soft tissue reconstruction.
