An RF flap and a deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap combination were most frequently used. The median operative time for flap combination phalloplasty was 10.5 hours (range 6.5\u201312.5 hours). There was no total flap necrosis, but there was 1 case of partial flap loss. There were urethral fistulas in 5, venous thrombosis in 4, and urethral calculus in 2 cases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Flap combination phalloplasty will become the third option when both the RF flap and the anterolateral thigh pedicle flap are not useful.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Strength &amp; limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Flap combination phalloplasty is a complex operative procedure with a prolonged operative time, but it can provide more flap selection and reduce the morbidity at each donor site.
