[Massive avulsion of the genital skin in a man. Apropos a case and a review of treatment].
OBJECTIVE
Massive skin avulsion of the male genitalia is relatively uncommon and there is no standard therapeutic approach. The foregoing prompted us to report on the present case and briefly review the different therapeutic approaches described in the literature.


RESULTS
The clinical features of a patient with massive genital and perineal skin avulsion that had been successfully treated by skin grafting are presented.


CONCLUSIONS
The results reported in the literature indicate that skin grafting achieves better results than flaps or other methods of reconstruction in male genital trauma.
