The superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIA) perforator (SCIP) flap has been used for scrotal reconstruction after Fournier's gangrene, skin cancer, or infections. However, there are few publications with regard to penoscrotal reconstruction after a traumatic injury with this flap. In this article, we propose a new SCIP flap variation, the "extended" or "direct" SCIP flap, to effectively reconstruct a wide scrotal defect after a traumatic injury. The "extended" SCIP flap is designed medial and cranial to the anterosuperior iliac spine (ASIS) using the superficial branch of the SCIA as the main pedicle.

Background: Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) is traditionally performed in patients with advanced-stage lymphedema. To enhance and promote the physiological effects of VLNT, lymphatic system transfer (LYST) was developed. In this technique, lymph nodes and a portion of their corresponding afferent lymphatic vessels are transferred to stimulate lymphangiogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is commonly used in covering wounds, but occasionally faces failure due to venous congestion.
- A new approach called the modified "chemical leech" technique incorporates a venous catheter to better manage blood drainage from congested areas, which has shown improved outcomes.
- This method facilitates more effective draining of congested blood at both venule and capillary levels, ultimately enhancing the healing of the flap as microcirculation is restored.

A superficial circumflex iliac perforator (SCIP) flap is gaining popularity in microsurgical free flap reconstruction, especially for extremity defects. However, its application in the head and neck region is still uncommon. Besides a thin, pliable skin paddle, the SCIP flap can be elevated with a part of the iliac bone.

Optimal reconstruction of weight-bearing plantar foot defects is challenging due to the need for relatively thin coverage with simultaneous durability. The medial plantar flap provides an excellent tissue match but is not always available or appropriate (Figure 1, 2). Microsurgical free flap reconstruction provides many options for coverage.

Genital lymphedema is a challenging condition often refractory to conservative treatments. This case report presents a novel surgical approach combining a lymphatic system transfer based on a pedicled superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap with nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds to address genital lymphedema secondary to hidradenitis suppurativa. A 47-year-old man with hidradenitis suppurativa-related genital lymphedema, unresponsive to conservative measures, underwent the procedure.
