This descriptive case series evaluated a reconstructive selection strategy using pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flaps and pedicled anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps for perineal defects following wide excision of EMPD. Materials and Methods: This retrospective case series reviewed patients with perineal EMPD who underwent wide excision followed by reconstruction using pedicled SCIP flaps or pedicled ALT flaps. Patient demographic and lesion characteristics, operative and flap characteristics, post-reconstruction complications, oncologic outcomes, and satisfaction were analyzed. Results: 15 patients (mean age 63 years, SD 7.3) were included in this case series. Ten patients underwent reconstruction using pedicled SCIP flaps (mean 106 cm2, SD 23.3), and five patients with pedicled ALT flaps (mean 245.2 cm2, SD 41.2). All flaps survived, but one patient developed limited partial necrosis managed with secondary healing. During a mean follow-up of 17.7 months (SD 1.3), one patient (6.7%) developed recurrence and eventually distant metastasis resulting in death. Among the 14 surviving patients, 13 (92.9%) reported overall satisfaction with cosmetic and functional outcomes assessed using a non-validated ordinal scale. Conclusions: Pedicled SCIP and ALT flap reconstruction provides reliable, well-vascularized tissue coverage for perineal EMPD defects and achieves generally favorable short-term outcomes. The choice between flap types should be tailored to the defect size, location, and patient characteristics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina62071291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T14:33:06Z","timestamp":1783089186000},"page":"1291","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Wide Excision and Flap Reconstruction in Perineal Extramammary Paget\u2019s Disease Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9474-7289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung Yun","family":"Oh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, The University of Melbourne Medical School, Parkville, Melbourne, VIC 3010, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9550-7000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sodam","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 82 Gumi-ro, 173 Beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam 463-707, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4372-6955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seokchan","family":"Eun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 82 Gumi-ro, 173 Beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam 463-707, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154283","DOI":"10.1016\/j.prp.2022.154283","article-title":"Extramammary Paget Disease of the Penoscrotal Region","volume":"241","author":"Patwardhan","year":"2023","journal-title":"Pathol.\u2014Res.
