Abstract
Penoscrotal skin degloving injuries are uncommon in Plastic surgery practice which are mostly due to industrial and agricultural related accidents. Although this type of injury is not dangerous to life, it can be psychosocially bothersome to patients if not treated properly.

He came to our trauma centre 4 hours after the accident and treated by partial thickness skin grafting in a single stage. Postsurgical period was normal and he was discharged 9 days after the operation.
