| Abstract: | We report our experience of eight cases of isolated full thickness burns of the penis. Early excision of burns of the penile shaft and repair with a preputial flap or mesh split skin graft produces excellent results, with a reduction in complications and an early re-establishment of sexual function. Conservative treatment of burns of the glans, on the other hand, is appropriate and results in minimal scarring. |
