Traumatic Degloving Injury of Penile and Scrotal Skin: A Case Report

We present the case of a 26-year-old man with traumatic degloving of penile and scrotal skin and exposed spongy body, cavernous bodies, and testicles caused by an accident on a farm tractor. The patient was presented to our emergency department 14 hours after his pants getting caught in the rotating driveshaft, which subsequently pulled him at the groin level, whereby the machine grasped the redundant skin of the penis and scrotum. The patient underwent single-stage surgical reconstruction using split-thickness skin graft 48 hours within initial presentation. Postoperative period was uneventful. He was discharged 6 days after operation. At the 8-week follow-up visit, he showed a satisfactory cosmetic outcome, well-healed scrotal and penile grafts, reestablished sexual function, and normal voiding.
