Abstract | Since 2001, we have been performing phalloplasty with a radial forearm free flap as the flap of first
choice in female-to-male transsexuals (FTMTS). In the present case, a 22-year-old FTMTS with a
negative Allen test, we achieved good results by performing phalloplasty with an innervated island
pedicled anterolateral thigh flap using the “tube within a tube” technique, in which the penis and urethra
are constructed with a single flap. As compared to a forearm flap, use of an innervated islandpedicled
flap may have the following advantages in phalloplasty: 1) no need for a microsurgical technique;
2) no scars at noticeable sites; 3) small functional loss in the flap donor area; 4) no sacrifice of
major blood vessels. Thus, this technique seems to be a useful clinical alternative for phallic reconstruction.
