Denuded penis
Denuded penis is a surgical disaster caused by poor surgical technique during a circumcision operation resulting in the destruction of all of the skin of the penis.
Case reports
Wilson & Wilson (1959) reported a case in which the denuded penis was covered with scrotal skin.[1]
Sinha & Mushtaq (2012) have described one such iatrogenic event which was treated by split thickness and full-thickness skin grafts.[2]
