TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Degloving injury to the penis JO - African journal of paediatric surgery A1 - Mathur, Raj K. A1 - Lahoti, Brajesh K. A1 - Aggarwal, Gaurav A1 - Satsangi, Bhaskar SP - 19 EP - 21 VL - 7 IS - 1 N2 - A case of reconstruction after penile skin avulsion is described in an eight-year-old boy. Penile coverage was gained by use of the avulsed skin flap itself, without a graft or local tissue flap. The procedure avoids any valuable time delay; thus, enhancing the chances to obtain adequate flap viability, avoids patient discomfort caused by perineal expansion, gives a satisfactory cosmetic appearance, and taking into account his age, avoids future psychosomatic and psychosexual problems.
