title: Dressing for surgical wounds of the penis.
abstract: We describe a simple tubular elastic gauze dressing for surgical wounds of the penis. The amount of pressure placed on the penis is consistent and reproducible. The material is elastic enough to avoid vascular occlusion and is easily applied with a plastic tube. The dressing stays in place, can be used with stents or catheters, and is easily removed by the patients at home.
