title: A simple splinting device for skin grafts of the penis.
abstract: A simple method to ensure penile skin graft immobilization and easy accessibility is presented. The method uses a hollow cylinder made of plaster-cast material applied to the pubis around the penis, to which the long tails of the skin graft threads are fixed. The method is inexpensive, simple to use, and comfortable both for patients and for the nursing staff.
