Résumé
Penile and scrotal skin degloving is uncommon and is mainly caused by accidents with agricultural and industrial machines. Such injuries are called "power take-off injuries," defined as injuries caused by power transmitted from one object to another. Penile injuries can be extremely disturbing to the physical and mental state of the patient, if not managed properly. 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.
