A primary isolated involvement of the penis is rare, but it can be affected in some circumstances. The purpose of this case series is to present the findings of our thirteen years\u2019 experience in the reconstruction of the penis in Fournier\u2019s gangrene and our full-thickness grafting technique to cover the penis rod. We retrospectively reviewed patient data who underwent a penis reconstruction following Fournier\u2019s gangrene in 2018. The data was analyzed to report the estimated percentage of complications, of patients with primary or secondary gangrene of the penis, the number of reinterventions, and finally the percentage of deaths or recovery. 23 patients underwent reconstruction with our technique of full-thickness skin graft. In all cases, the skin graft was harvested from the upper arm with an arrow shape mark. No further penile revision surgery was required, and neither patient complained about retraction, nor traction, or pain during erection. The donor site healed without any complications. We believe that the coverage of the penis using our grafting technique is safe, easily reproducible, and demonstrates excellent esthetic and functional results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/6710777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,25]],"date-time":"2022-09-25T18:35:05Z","timestamp":1664130905000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Retrospective Case Series in Fournier\u2019s Disease: And Its Emergency Management et Grafting Technique for Penis Coverage"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4190-8168","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Domenico","family":"Tripodi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, \u201cSapienza\u201d University of Rome, Rome 00161, Italy"},{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Bichat Claude-Bernard, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Guastafierro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical-Surgical and Dental Specialties, University \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d Naples, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Gagliardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Biomedical Sciences, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Ida","family":"Amabile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Biomedical Sciences, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1943-4952","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Eleonora","family":"Lori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Biomedical Sciences, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Cirocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, M.G.
