Scrotal flap surgery & penile reconstruction in Busan.
When penile skin is lost to trauma, infection, foreign-body removal or buried-penis surgery, the shaft needs healthy coverage to heal and function. A scrotal flap uses the body's own nearby tissue — well-matched and richly supplied with blood — to resurface the penis. A reconstructive procedure by a board-certified urologist with 15+ years of complex genital surgery. From ₩8,000,000.
"When the shaft loses its skin, the nearby scrotal tissue is the ideal patch — same neighborhood, same blood supply, a natural colour match. This is reconstructive work, so every case is planned individually. The goal isn't cosmetic perfection; it's solid coverage that heals and restores function."
— Dr. Moon Hyeon-chang, Director
Four reasons for a scrotal flap.
Reconstruction is needed whenever the penile shaft loses healthy skin coverage.
After trauma
Skin loss from injury, burns or degloving leaves the shaft exposed. A scrotal flap restores durable coverage.
After infection
Severe infection (such as Fournier's gangrene) can destroy skin. Reconstruction resurfaces the area once it's clean and stable.
After foreign-body removal
Removing injected vaseline or silicone often leaves a skin deficit. A flap completes the repair in the same plan.
After buried-penis surgery
Releasing a buried penis can leave a large raw shaft. Scrotal flap coverage completes severe-case correction.
The reconstruction, step by step.
A carefully planned procedure — each case mapped to the specific defect.
Defect assessment
Dr. Moon maps the area of skin loss, checks the tissue is clean and stable, and plans the flap to match the defect precisely.
Prepare the bed
Any unhealthy or scarred tissue is removed so the flap has a clean, well-vascularized bed to heal onto.
Raise the scrotal flap
A flap of scrotal skin is raised with its blood supply preserved — the key to reliable healing and a natural match.
Resurface & inset
The flap is rotated to cover the shaft and inset with fine sutures, restoring continuous, healthy skin coverage.
Staged healing
Depending on the defect, healing may be staged. A clear plan and close follow-up protect the result.
Function first, then refinement.
Reconstruction prioritizes solid, healthy coverage that heals and restores function — appearance improves as healing matures. The scrotal flap is chosen precisely because it's a natural match in colour and texture, but reconstructive results are about restoration, not cosmetic perfection.
Complex defects may need a staged plan, and that's discussed honestly upfront. Because every case differs, pricing starts from ₩8,000,000 and is finalized by complexity after assessment — you'll have a clear number before committing.
Good candidate, or not.
Likely a good fit
- Penile skin loss from trauma or infection
- A skin deficit after foreign-body removal
- A raw shaft after severe buried-penis release
- You need durable, natural-match coverage
Worth discussing first
- Active infection → stabilized and cleared first
- Small defect → a simpler closure may suffice
- Foreign material still present → removal comes first
- Smoker → quitting greatly improves flap healing

Four points for flap healing.
Protecting the flap's blood supply is the priority in early recovery.
Protect the flap
Rest and limited movement protect the flap's blood supply as it establishes. Swelling is expected and settles gradually.
No nicotine
Nicotine constricts the small vessels feeding the flap, so strict avoidance is essential for healing.
Pause intimacy
Abstain for the advised window so the flap and suture lines heal fully without tension.
Maturing result
Coverage matures and softens over weeks to months. Dr. Moon tracks healing closely via WhatsApp photo updates.

About scrotal flap reconstruction.
Scrotal flap reconstruction starts from ₩8,000,000, all-inclusive, with the final figure set by the defect and complexity after assessment. Dr. Moon gives a clear number before any commitment, and staged plans are quoted stage by stage.
The scrotum sits right beside the penis, shares a similar colour and texture, and has a robust blood supply. That makes it an ideal natural-match patch for resurfacing the shaft, with reliable healing — which is why it's a workhorse flap in penile reconstruction.
Whenever the penile shaft loses healthy skin coverage — after trauma or burns, severe infection, removal of injected vaseline or silicone, or releasing a severe buried penis. The flap restores continuous, durable skin so the shaft can heal and function.
Reconstruction prioritizes solid, functional coverage first, with appearance improving as healing matures. The scrotal flap is chosen because it's a close natural match, but the honest goal is restoration rather than cosmetic perfection.
Many cases are completed in one procedure, but complex or large defects may need a staged plan. That's discussed honestly upfront so you know what to expect, and each stage is quoted clearly.
Reconstruction needs closer monitoring than routine surgery, so plan for a longer stay — often 1–2 weeks, sometimes more for staged cases. Dr. Moon gives a realistic timeline at consultation and tracks flap healing via WhatsApp afterwards.
