چکیده
INTRODUCTION We recently published an article in the International Journal of Surgical Case Reports titled: "Scrotal dartos-fascio-myo-cutaneous flap for penis elongation after catastrophic iatrogenic skin shaft sub-amputation: A case of recovery using an extremely adaptable flap". PRESENTATION OF CASE We propose a comment on a recent article titled "A case report of a complete degloving injury of the penile skin" by Helena Aineskog and Frederik Huss that we read with great interest. DISCUSSION Genitalia are linked to self-esteem and male sexual identity, especially among young men, who sometimes require a surgical procedure to acquire more confidence. Various techniques are available for pe-nile skin covering, such as skin grafts or cutaneous flaps. The skin of the scrotum seems to be the most suitable tissue to be used to reconstruct the skin covering of the shaft as it is the most similar. CONCLUSION Scrotal flap is a single stage procedure that is easy and safe to perform.
