Unusual snowmobile injury of the penis: a case report.
Snowmobiles have been responsible for a variety of characteristic injuries. The authors report a most unusual injury--degloving of the penis. A 49-year-old man was thrown against the handlebars of his machine. The penis was traumatically circumcised, degloved and forced through the subcutaneous peritoneal tissue to exit through a gash in the left thigh. At operation, the area was debrided and irrigated. The penis was easily returned to its normal position, into the intact but detached penile skin which was then sutured in place.
