title: An extensive traumatic degloving lesion of the penis. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Traumatic lesions of the penis and scrotum are often encountered in urological emergency departments. We describe a case of complete unraveling of the penile skin and partial avulsion of the scrotal skin, which was treated without the need for a skin graft, which is usually the selected mode of treatment. Instead, we believe that a less aggressive surgical approach is more beneficial for the patient since it allows faster healing and prevents the development of complications.
