A case of successful surgical treatment in a patient with complete traumaticavulsion of the scrotum and penal skin at a central district hospital
The paper gives the experience with successful surgical treatment for scrotal traumatic avulsion and extensive penal scalping wound. A 28-year- old patient with an agricultural injury was taken to the central district hospital that performed three steps of, operation: primary surgi-cal debridement, penile skin restoration, and scrotoplasty. This injury is extremely rare and the literature and media resources mainly report general information on the problem, the specific cases are sporadic; and this information has not been found in the Russian sources. Somesreports deal with restoration of scrotal skin defect resulting from cancer treatment or Fournier,phlegmon, but these communications are few.Our case shows that stepwise treatment for such defects, stepwise scrotoplasty in particular, may be easily feasible at a general surgery hospi- tal, even at a district hospital.Vitsin s
