title: Reconstruction of the penile skin loss due to "radical" circumcision with a full thickness skin graft.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Excessive resection of penile skin is a rare but important complication of circumcision. Penis "trapping" under the skin and consequent sexual dysfunction occur as a result.
  
  
  METHODS
  Excessive circumcision with complete resection of the penile skin is shown. Penis, trapped under the skin, was deliberated and skin defect was substituted with the full thickness skin graft. One year after the surgery penis has a good cosmetic appearance, adequate size and sexual function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Full thickness skin graft is a good option for augmentation of the penile skin loss in cases with intact hypodermal tissue and extensive skin loss, for the reconstruction in a single act.
