title: [Cutaneous reconstruction of external genital organs: an older method still in current use].
abstract: The authors present four patients with cutaneous defects of the genital organs, one with a degloving injury to the penis, one with Fournier's gangrene, one with massive lymphoedema and one with a full thickness burn. In those four cases, a stable coverage was obtained through skin grafts, maintained by an external splint. The use of this older method gave an excellent esthetic and functional result.
