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]
Van Duyn & Warr (1962) reported a case of excessive skin removal in which a split-thickness skin graft was used to supply the needed skin.[2]
Sotolongo, Jr. et al. (1985) reported three cases of penile denudation after non-therapeutic circumcision that were treated without surgery.[3]
Sinha & Mushtaq (2012) have described one such iatrogenic event which was treated by split thickness and full-thickness skin grafts.[4]
