Degloving injury of penile and scrotal skin are uncommon events and are caused mainly by accidents with industrial machines and agricultural machine belts. Here we report a young male who presented shortly after an farm machinery injury to his genitalia resulting in a degloving injury of his penis and testicles. He was initially managed by debridement and dressing, followed by single staged reconstruction in the form of anteromedial thigh testis burial and skin graft over the penile shaft, which healed with satisfactory aesthetic results with normal voiding function and erection of penis. Literature described different modalities of treating such injuries which is mainly done through a multidisciplinary approach which wasn’t available at our setting.
