BACKGROUND Penile plication techniques with or without degloving offer a minimally invasive option for the treatment of penile curvature. AIM To review the outcomes of penile plication surgery and patient satisfaction with and without degloving of the penis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 52 patients who underwent penile plication for the treatment of Peyronie disease or c...

BACKGROUND Degloving injuries are surgical conditions in which an extensive portion of skin and subcutaneous tissue is detached from the underlying fasciae, muscles, or bone surface. Frequently, there is an association of fracture underlying the degloved area. We aimed to compare the short-term outcomes of degloving injuries with and without underlying fracture. METHODS A prospective cohort s...

By definition, degloving is detachment of skin and subcutaneous tissue, most often affecting the limbs and extremities and occasionally the scalp. Degloving generally occurs from high-energy trauma. This paper describes a patient of traumatic facial degloving injury. This is an extremely rare condition, as the patient survived despite the risk of imminent death. This patient report addresses th...

A Morel-Lavallée lesion is a rare internal degloving injury that patients present with to the Emergency Department (ED) typically following high impact trauma. The diagnosis often missed due its uncommon presentation and emphasis on other concomitant injuries may have occurred as result of polytrauma. Potential long-term complications from these closed soft-tissue highlight need for early recog...

Originally described in 1853 by Dr. Morel-Lavellee, closed internal degloving injuries represent an important, althoughuncommon, source of morbidity in trauma patients. These injuries are typically the result of a shearing or crushing force thattraumatically separates the skin and subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fat. This results in disruption of perforatingblood vessels and lymphatics,...

Degloving injury is a serious trauma of the fingers. It difficult to establish an adequate extent debridement at time initial surgery. Therefore, additional surgery for necrotic areas related circulatory failure required in many cases. In this study, we performed replantation degloving 3 fingers 2 patients, and obtained findings regarding nailbed on Considering hemodynamics, when performing inj...

Midfacial degloving is a well-known technique for entering the nasal and paranasal cavities, the rhinopharynx and the base of the skull. We report our experience with a modification of midfacial degloving, applied to two patients with extensive bilateral benign tumours in the nasal cavities and the paranasal sinuses. No rhinoplastic procedure is necessary in this modification, and the access to...

We report a case of a complete scalp degloving injury in a 43-year-old previously healthy, tobacco-using female whose hair was caught in a tractor power take-off causing an instantaneous total scalping injury. Microsurgical replantation was started 4 hours after injury with the surgical procedure lasting 4 hours. Only the superficial temporal arteries were reanastomosed with no venous anastomos...

Closed degloving skin lesions of the limbs are uncommon, and diagnosis may be missed at the time of acute trauma. Usually, they are associated with pelvic fractures but may occur in absence of any bony injury. When this closed internal degloving occurs over the greater trochanter, it is known as a Morel-Lavallee lesion. We report a case of unusually delayed presentation of Morel-Lavallee lesion...
