Abstract:
Genital skin loss results from a heterogeneous group of traumatic and infectious processes. Removal of all devitalized tissue is necessary prior to reconstructive surgery; hyperbaric oxygen may help in the management of necrotizing infections. Defect coverage depends more on the remaining genital skin than on the etiology of the loss.
