Abstract:
Reconstruction of penile skin loss resulting from various causes is a challenge for clinician. Especially in a potent man, functional and cosmetic outcomes are demanded. Conservative treatment with topical agents is not enough for the full-thickness burn although hypertrophic scar and secondary contracture usually occurs. Resurfacing of total penile full-thickness burn after wound management with the Versajet hydrosurgery system (a water-jet powered debrider) is described for the first use in our hospital.
