There are many methods of phallus reconstruction, often requiring the use of prosthetics and multiple-stage interventions. The unique method discussed in this case report uses a finger complex in order to create a neourethra as well as act in place of the prosthesis, thus offering a one-stage intervention with the restoration of full biomechanical functions of the phallus and no need for revision surgeries. We present a patient, a 52-year-old male, who had previously undergone a subtotal penile resection due to oncological disease. In our clinic, he then underwent a phallus reconstruction surgery using a third finger from a non-dominant hand and radial forearm flap. After the surgery, he was able to regain full biomechanical functions of the phallus within a month as well as achieve adequate tactile and erogenous sensitivity.

Due to the worldwide growing number of transgender individuals openly identifying themselves, including in Iran, these individuals need more attention and support. This study compares patient satisfaction and quality of life after female-to-male gender confirmation surgery using an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap and radial forearm free flap (RFFF). This study included 49 patients who underwent phalloplasty from 2014 to 2019 using two different methods.

Article Synopsis
- The free radial forearm flap (FRFF) is commonly used for phalloplasty but has drawbacks like noticeable scarring and deflation, leading to the search for alternatives.
- This study analyzed the long-term outcomes of the pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIP) flap for reconstructive surgeries conducted between 2012 and 2022.
- Results showed that 100% of SCIP-flaps achieved primary closure, but 14% of urethral reconstructions failed, while overall complication rates were comparable to other methods, although shaft sensation may be lower.

The goals of gender-affirming phalloplasty typically include an aesthetic phallus and scrotum, standing micturition, and/or penetrative intercourse. Phalloplasty can be performed using both free and pedicled flaps. Complications include flap-related healing compromise and urethral issues, including stricture and fistula.

Introduction And Importance: Cloacal exstrophy (CE) is defined as a complex anomaly that affects the urogenital and intestinal tracts. It is the most serious form of anomaly that is described within the so-called exstrophy-epispadias complex. These malformations usually present a challenge in the management of particular conditions, as most of these forms require multiple surgeries, resulting in the use of multidisciplinary approaches, including reconstructive urologists, pediatric surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists, pediatricians, psychologists and nutritionists.
