Long-term prognosis of free skin-grafted penoscrotal avulsion injuries in two patients.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To observe the long-term results of free skin-grafted penoscrotal avulsion injury.

METHODS:

Two young males with penoscrotal avulsion injuries were followed up after repair by free skin grafting.

RESULTS:

Good cosmetic results were attained without any contracture of the free skin grafts, and the sperm quality was normal at the late stage.

CONCLUSION:

For young males, the best treatment for penoscrotal avulsion injuries is free skin grafting, while skin flaps are not recommended for reconstructing the scrotum.
