Core Tip
Core tip: While there are many options for penile reconstruction, many techniques have associated morbidity when attempting to recreate rigidity in the neophallus by using bone autograft mostly from either the radius or fibula. In our case report, we use a novel approach to addressing rigidity in the neophallus without causing associated morbidity by using a pre-fabricated, radial forearm fasciocutaneous free flap containing cadaveric bone graft for reconstructive phalloplasty.
