ABSTRACT
Degloving injuries of penile and scrotal skin are
uncommon events and are caused mainly by accidents with industrial and
agricultural machine belts. Here we report a young male who presented shortly
after a farm machinery injury to his genitalia resulting in a degloving injury
of his penile and scrotal skin. Optimization of the wound and subsequent
reconstruction were performed by primary meshed split-thickness skin
grafting, with a good functional and esthetical result.
KEYWORDS
Penile, scrotal, degloving injuries, split-thickness skin graft (STSG).
