Using your own fat under a skin graft during penis reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using your own fat (taken from another part of your body) under a skin graft helps the healing and cosmetic result after penile reconstruction. The fat may improve how the graft takes and how the area looks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery to replace damaged skin on your penis with a skin graft (skin taken from another part of your body).
- You are able to give informed consent (understand and agree to the procedure).
- You are healthy enough for surgery and have had any medical problems optimized beforehand.
- You have not had surgery to create an entirely new penis (neophallus) in the past.
- You do not have a connective tissue disease (like lupus or scleroderma) that affects collagen.
- Your doctor can safely remove enough of your own fat to use for the procedure.

This study tests whether a donated penis can be successfully transplanted using medicines that calm the immune system to prevent rejection. It also looks at safety and recovery of function in men with severe penile loss from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions.
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
This trial uses your own fat to fill in facial depressions or defects from an injury or surgery. First, fresh fat is used for grafting, and extra fat is frozen to use later if needed.
This study tests whether using your own fat (removed from elsewhere in your body) can safely increase the thickness of your penis and keep the result stable over time. It may help men who are unhappy with their penile size and meet the specific health criteria.
This trial compares two methods of using your own fat to improve old burn or accident scars. It tests whether injecting the fat or using a special stamp-like device (microneedling) works better for making scars softer and less noticeable.
