[Excoriation injuries of the penis and scrotum (author's transl)]

In total excoriation of the penis and scrotum caused by injury the immediate manifestations of new skin cover are seen within 8-12 hrs. In the sense of a "postponed emergency" the usual wound toilet should be performed, a bladder catheter introduced, and penis lowered into a subcutaneous tunnel beneath the abdomen. However, in every case, the ultimate goal is formation of a new skin covering via a split skin flap. The testicles should be lowered into a pouch on the thigh where they will not suffer thermal damage.
